You can also explore the many fountains here. Chera is one of the municipalities with the highest number of springs in the Region of Valencia.

And did you know that the village has plenty of caves? Chera sits on a graben – that is 75 million years old – which has created the most incredible geological formations. There is a Geological Park in the area, which is calling out to be explored.

The Geological Park Museum displays fossils and there are itineraries with information panels indicating the formations in the great outdoors. Lovers of caving will be pleased to know that there are plenty of spots to enjoy their favourite sport.
