Beautiful trail through the pine forest. It is recommended to do it from south to north, to make the most of the long descent down the mountain.

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.

Nice to look at, very interesting object. The Fountain of the Twenty-Five Fountains (in Valencian Font dels vint-i-cinc "xorros") is a fountain from the late 18th century in the town of Játiva, right near the church of San Pedro. The fountain has twenty-five spouts, which give it its name. The central spout depicts the face of a bearded person with water flowing from his mouth, while the remaining spouts are in the shape of a snake.
