Bocairent

Highlight • Settlement

Bocairent is a town full of charm and history. In addition to the Lavadero del Aljub and the Pou Clar, there are many other interesting places to explore:

The Caves of the Moors: A set of caves dug into the rock dating back to medieval times.
The Medieval Quarter: A labyrinth of narrow, steep streets that transport you to another era.
The Bullring: One of the oldest bullrings in Spain, dug into the rock.
The Rupestre Monastery: An ancient monastery built into the rock, with stunning views of the valley.
Bocairent is also known for its festivities, such as the Fiestas de Moros y Cristianos, which are held in honor of San Blas.

L'Agora Hotel

Highlight • Rest Area

Beautiful hotel in an old building, right in the middle of the village. We stayed there on our long-distance hike from Tarifa to Switzerland and can highly recommend the hotel.

Bocairent

Highlight • Settlement

As soon as you cycle towards Bocairent, you are presented with an impressive sight. The old town with its branched streets nestles high up on a rocky ridge. Once there, you can push your bike a little while strolling through the alleys, admiring the church and eating delicious food.

Incidentally, the old town was created under Muslim rule, it was only conquered by Spanish troops around 1245 and then became part of the Kingdom of Valencia.

Hermitage of Santo Cristo

Highlight • Religious Site

La Ermita is located in a privileged place for its incredible views of the picturesque town of Bocairent. To get there from the town, you go up the steps that are at the same time the Via Crucis. From every corner the views are more and more beautiful until reaching the panoramic point where the Hermitage is located. From here you can also see the caves of the Moors, another of Bocairent's main attractions.

Bocairent

Highlight • Settlement

Bocairent (Spanish: Bocairente) is a municipality in the Spanish province of Valencia. It is located in the Vall d’Albaida comarca. On the way there is a fantastic backdrop when you look at the houses built on the cliff. It looks like a scene from a medieval film. Top location!

View of Bocairent

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of Bocairent from the Pont de Darrere la Vila path is one of the most iconic and photogenic in the town. This ancient stone bridge, which crosses the Clariano River, offers a unique perspective of the medieval quarter of La Vila, with its hanging houses, Arabic tiled roofs, and cobblestone streets rising from the hillside.

January 23, 2025,🇪🇸 Bocairent: Maurische Höhlen, Ermita del Santo Cristo und Altstadt
Anyone who wants to visit the Moorish caves should be reasonably flexible, not too broad and not too fat. Otherwise you won't be able to get through the narrow passages. You have to pull yourself up, crawl through on all fours and slide down 😅. The main purpose of the caves was to store grain, with constant temperatures all year …
