Tips from the Community
Here you have to cross the Riu Albaida, which is not a big problem when the water level is low. There are pipes and gravel. Otherwise you can just drive through standing up without getting your feet wet.

The La Cova Negra municipal natural area is located in the municipality of Játiva, province of Valencia. In the Cova Negra is the Middle Paleolithic site in which remains of Homo Neanderthal have appeared. This natural area is located in the narrow valley formed by the Albaida River, as it crosses the reliefs of the Sierra Grossa, at the exit of the so-called Estret de les Aigües. In the widest meander formed by the Albaida River, at the height of Pico del Paller, you can see the Cova Negra, named for the blackish appearance of its walls.

In this place there was the Convent of the Order of the Sants Metges that dated from the 17th century. Today only the access door and some sections of the wall of that original building remain. Right at the entrance there is a source of drinking water, and within the enclosure some benches and trees that provide shade, much appreciated on summer days.

La Cova Negra is a cavity that is located in a gorge called the Strait of Waters. Its black color is mainly due to the smoke from the bonfires made by its former inhabitants, the Neanderthals who occupied it for a few months of the year. An important amount of flint tools and other archaeological remains have been found here.

The Les Arcades bridge is a magnificent example of centuries-old structures that are still standing all over the east. In this case it is probably an aqueduct. The oldest irrigation systems in the area date back to Roman times.
