Torre de Cotes

Declared Natural Park on January 8, 2002. Sierra de Mariola is one of the most complete and ideal places for outdoor sports and nature lovers. This mountain range, which has an area of 16,000 hectares, extends through the regions of Vall d'Álbaida, l'Alcoià and Comptat and includes the municipalities of Agres, Alcoy, Alfafara, Banyeres de Mariola, Bocairent, Cocentaina and Muro.

In the middle of this natural area, we find numerous fountains and farmhouses as well as a large network of paths, built a long time ago by their previous inhabitants (shepherds, woodcutters...). Due to the obvious beauty of the place, its natural resources and the quality and suitability of its routes, it is recommended to take a tour (on foot, by bike or on horseback) through this wonderful landscape.
