Tips from the Community
El convent d'Aigües Vives, també anomenat Reial Monestir de Santa Maria d'Aigües Vives, és un antic monestir amb orígens que es remunten al segle XIII. L'edifici actual es va construir durant els segles XVI i XVII, amb els corresponents estils, renaixentista i barroc, si bé l'ala nord es va acabar en el segle XVIII. El monestir va pertànyer a l'orde dels agustins, orde que custodiava la imatge de la Mare de Déu d'Aigües Vives, patrona de la ciutat de La Barraca d'Aigües Vives. A mitjan segle XIX, a conseqüència de la desamortització de Mendizábal, els monjos hagueren d'abandonar el cenobi. Aquest va passar a mans dels barons de Casanova, que el destinaren com a habitatge rural. L'any 1977 el monestir fou adquirit i reformat per a destinar-lo a hotel residència per Antonio Vidal Bellver (fotògraf i empresari de Carcaixent). Actualment és propietat d'un empresari hoteler de Gandia. El 2024, la Generalitat Valenciana va instar els nous propietaris a fer obres per a mantenir aquesta obra major que ha patit un deteriorament progressiu com a conseqüència de robatoris, vandalisme i abandonament.

A tough climb, initially on a paved road, but the final section is unpaved. There's a chain blocking motor vehicles, but you can easily cross by bike or on foot.

I recommend enjoying the muixerangues in this square. The Minor Basilica of Sant Jaume is a cultural asset. It is located in the center of the town and occupies one of the sides of the Plaza Mayor. Its architecture is in the Renaissance style. It was built between 1550 and 1582 by Domingo Gamieta and had the collaboration of Juan d'Alacant and Juan Matalí. The Minor Basilica of Sant Jaume and its surroundings were proposed and cataloged as an asset of cultural interest, due to its great historical and architectural richness in 1980. It is where one of the most significant moments of the procession of the Virgin of Health is experienced, when the different dances that characterize this festival, declared intangible heritage of humanity, converge at its entrance. The muixerangues (human towers) that accompany the entrance of the Virgin Mary into the basilica are especially emotional, with their characteristic music of dolzaina and tabal.

The bridge over the CV-50 between Carcaixent and Tabernes is finally operational, and you can now travel along the entire greenway without entering the CV-50, which was a danger.
