Highly recommend going on the Bocairent adventure - This was an incredible experience that I highly recommend. Howard the guide is a lovely person, and makes everyone feel very comfortable. The sleepy town of Bocairent was very charming. The Covetes del Moros Caves felt like quite an adventure exploring its inner workings, and learning about its rich history. The guide is in Spanish, but Howard was able to translate it English. The Pou Clar rock pools are absolutely stunning - crystal clear waters and breathaking formations. You can even swim in the pools themselves. Can't recommend this trip enough.

Bocairent and surroundings - A great trip with lots of variety. Bocairent is a beautiful town and the caves are fascinating. Be prepared for stooping low! Then a lovely walk through stunning mountain scenery and exploration of some ruined mills. All rounded off with a swim in some beautiful pools. Howard, as ever, was a great guide. Highly recommended.

Another great day out with Howard - I really enjoy joining small groups and discovering beautiful old towns, something with links to ancient past and somewhere cool. The charming town of Bocairent was delightful, the caves which were inhabited by the Moors were so much fun to explore and the natural swimming pools were fantastic. Howard always ensures his excursions lead to unforgettable places and once again he didn't disappoint. Thanks for a brilliant day out, will have to come back to the pools when the weather warms up a bit. Thanks to Howard and highly recommended.

Moro Cave in Ayna - A little below the sidecar viewpoint we find what is known as Cueva del Moro. A cave made up of immense rocks joined at their apex that leave beneath them a space in the shape of a hollow pyramid with wide openings that give way to the Balcón de Los Mayos. The few remaining remains of the Castillo de la Yedra are supported on it. The place can be accessed by carefully descending from the sidecar viewpoint or ascending the winding alleys that start from the surroundings of the main square.
