It's a very beautiful but very tough route. Be well prepared. The descent is quite demanding.

Place located next to the San Miguel river and near the urban area. Place of great interest to visit, in it there are several caves. La Morería, currently owned by the Fundación Docente Privada de les Coves de Vinromà, is a place that impresses. Near the center of the town, next to the Coves river, it is a place that has dazzled the world for many reasons, since it has been the historical cradle of many of the civilizations that have passed through here. There are cave paintings in one of the caves in the mountain and also remains of Moorish constructions, since it was there where they settled after the Christian conquest, hence the name by which we know it. But what has been on the minds of the residents is "the story of the miracle of Les Coves de Vinromà", which took place in the Cueva de la Campana in 1947. Days before December 1, 1947, a girl named Raquel, who was then only 8 years old, claims that the Virgin Mary appeared to her in the Campana de la Morería cave. This fact spread rapidly along with the girl's prediction that on December 1, there would be a great event: at three in the afternoon, the day would turn into night and miracles would occur. The society in post-war times, of hardships, hunger and poverty, was in need of similar events; For this reason, more than 300,000 people came to the municipality to witness these events, according to witnesses. But nothing happened, it was the coldest day of the whole year, all hopes were dashed, even so, many months later, stimulated people continued to come. Near the place of the Moorish neighborhood you can still see and visit some of the 17 hydraulic mills of the municipality, which boosted the economy of the time. They are still standing, some of them from the 14th century, as well as part of their water collection pipes. In addition, it has recently been declared a flora micro-reserve by the Generalitat Valenciana, due to the peculiarity of the two slopes of the river: On the one hand, the Morería cliff, as it is a place where the sun never hits it directly, is a humid place where the flora that inhabits it is not normal in these latitudes. On the other, when crossing the river we find the typical vegetation of the Mediterranean climate with aromatic plants and scrubs characteristic of this area.

It is the highest Mountain in the western area of the Badanxer Valley, some call it Mount Caballo but this is not its real name. With its 520 meters, it has magnificent views in all its 360º, it must be borne in mind that it is not a place of passage and is quite far from most of the hiking routes of the Badanxer Valley (Angel Valley), but it is a place that is worth visiting. The route I have taken is one of the best to be able to travel the entire area, it must be borne in mind that there is no water point to supply ourselves, so we must take it into account, calculating well what we are going to need for hydration and food . Route with some unevenness and mileage. We must also take into account the weather, especially in summer, since it is a very hot area.
