What to do in Rojales
The Segura River is one of the great protagonists of the landscape of Rojales, as its waters have led to the construction of great civil works that today form part of its architectural heritage.
On a walk through Rojales you cannot miss the magnificent urban hydraulic monumental complex, made up of a weir, a waterwheel, the irrigation ditches and an ashlar bridge, all dating from between the 16th and 18th centuries.
Also not to be missed are the Cuevas del Rodeo (Rodeo Caves), dwellings carved into the rock with irregular walls that were built between the 18th and 20th centuries and which today house cultural initiatives such as workshops, exhibitions and even a museum. We must also recommend a visit to the Municipal Archaeological and Palaeontological Museum! You will be amazed by the animal fossils from the Miocene.
On the outskirts of Rojales you will find the fantastic Museo de la Huerta, a really beautiful restored windmill and, for the whole family, a water park! Another great plan is to go and discover the Aljibes de Gasparito, an indisputable part of the rural landscape of this municipality.
The festivities in Rojales are another great reason to visit, such as the interesting Fiesta de las Naciones, the Romeria of San Isidro or those of Nuestra Señora del Rosario. And they are a good opportunity to savour its gastronomy and try rice dishes, stews with meatballs or sweets such as almojábenas or toñas.
Don't miss this destination full of things to do and see! Discover the charms of Rojales in a getaway full of Mediterranean light.
