Busot: what to see

Cave lovers will enjoy the opportunity to explore, in the Cabeçó d'Or Mountain Range, a space full of stalactites and stalagmites with an area of about 80 000m², among which stands out the room known as "La Sagrada Familia" and an impressive stalagmite more than 100 000 years old and which gives its name to the whole, the "Canelobre" or candelabrum.

In the area around Busot you can go hiking and mountain biking, and there are even some via ferrata routes, perfect for those who are not very experienced. Some of the most interesting routes can take you to the Cabrafich Tower, or to the hill where Busot Castle is located. This building dates back to Arab times although much older remains have been found in the area.

After a good route, we recommend you visit the town centre and try the gachamiga or buy some of its most typical sweets, and don't miss the climb to Calvario Mount in the heart of its historic town centre! There you will find the hermitage of Sant Vicent and great views. You should also include the Pont de la Bassa washing place on your urban route.

As for the fiestas in Busot, you should not miss the opportunity to experience the Moors and Christians which are held after Easter, or the beautiful "Nit dels Ciris" or night of the candles which in July fills Busot with a very special light. Make a note of all these plans!
