Bocairent has dozens of reasons why she deserves to be visited and known by people. But here we wanted to highlight three reasons that will make you irresistible a visit to this municipality in the south of the Vall d’Albaida region. First, taking a walk through the archaeological heritage and focusing on the Iberian lion; then knowing the customs and traditions of this municipality with its Moors and Christians festivities and, finally, tasting the flavors of autumn with the contest of “Caça i Bolets”. Three reasons to visit Bocairent and get to know this town if you haven’t already.
From the Iberian lion, to the caves: witnesses of Bocairent’s heritage wealth Walk through Bocairent is to nourish themselves with history. Any corner of this picturesque municipality of Valldalbaidí becomes a witness to the different cultures that lived in this town throughout history. The Iberian civilization, the Roman civilization and the most prosperous of all, the Islamic one, left in Bocairent an important heritage legacy that year after year attracts hundreds of visitors from all over. The historic center, les covetes dels
Moros, the rock monastery, the cavas, the hermitages inside and outside the town center, are just some of the heritage gems that you can find in Bocairent. Sometimes jewels become such a thing not only for their value, but for the history that accompanies them. This is the case of the Iberian lion, asculpture from the 4th century BC that was found in the nineteenth century on the hill of Galbis, an area close to the birth of the Vinalopó River. His discoverer gave the piece to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Carles
