Tips from the Community
The Hermitage of San José in Busot is an 18th-century church. It is distinguished by its Latin cross floor plan and thoughtful architecture. With a three-part nave and chapels between the buttresses, this hermitage is connected at one end to the sacristy and the former hermit's house. Particularly striking features of this hermitage are the polygonal facade with a flat-arched portal, a niche with a relief of San José, and a round oculus that illuminates the interior. This building regularly serves as the site for important events for the community, such as the floral offering to the patron saint during the Moors and Christians festival and the Three Kings' procession on January 5th. It is thus a church steeped in symbolism and tradition…

The Sabinar estate was a place where they were practically self-sufficient. It had a school, a hermitage, chickens, various birds, fruit trees, almond trees, vineyards, etc. Today it is a ruin. SHAME

The Puente del Río Amadorio is a historic bridge built for transport and as a connection between the towns. A complete circuit around the reservoir is worthwhile. The bridge spans the Amadorio River, and on the other side, you drive over the dam. A very scenic route.

The view of the reservoir with the Puig Campana mountain towering in the background is impressive. From the top, a wide view opens up over the lake and the surrounding mountains. However, the view across the dam to the sea is particularly impressive – a truly magnificent perspective that leaves a lasting impression.

Nice view of Agües and the buildings on the hillside. In the place, which has retained its original character, there was a former fortification from the 14th century, the remains of which can still be seen.
