Next up on your to-visit list is La Marquesa Fountain, also known as the 24 Chorros Fountain, which dates back to the 16th century. You can then climb up the Stations of the Cross where you will discover an 18th century chapel, great views and some interesting cave houses.
Navarrés Castle is another must-visit during your time in the destination. This 12th century Islamic fortress sits on a much older site dating back to the Bronze Age. The castle makes a great destination for a hiking trail and is an excellent spot to unwind and breathe in the views.
