Bocairent & Xativa
Bocairent
Bocairent also called “the city where the stones speak”, “the little Tuscany” or “Matera” (Italy). You can search in the Google for Bocairent and Matera (Italy) and like to compare it. Some of the houses and monuments have been excavated from the surrounding rock to continue the ancient tradition. The streets of Bocairent are steeped in history, the inhabitants respect their traditions and the town itself is located near the beautiful Sierra Mariola National Park. Bocairent is a historic-artistic town with narrow streets, famous for the “Covetes dels Moros”. The caves are very narrow and small and sometimes you have to climb through them on your knees. If you suffer from claustrophobia, you should be aware of this.
The towns where the stones speak – some people call Bocairent like that. It definitely is a very unique village, located closely to the National Park of Sierra Mariola.
