Short hike Cueva de las Palomas

“Cueva” meaning cave and “palomas” being doves. The translation would be Cave of the Doves
45 mins drive from Valencia’s city.

20 meter waterfall in the raining season (usually from September until June) and a cave
In the river Juanes, in the area of Yatova (very close to Buñol, where the Tomatina is celebrated).
Beautiful landscape and easy hike
There’s a route called Ruta del Agua. It is possible to do small part of the hike (from the car to the cave approx. 15 mins) or do a longer hike of 1 hour and 30 mins.
It is ideal to park the car exactly where the Point of interest is located in To-Do-Valencia’s map. That way, you can choose between the short or the long hike.
Make sure to take some water with you as there’s no place where to buy water there. Ideal to take with you a snack to eat there. And make sure to take your trash with you 🙂
Possible to swim in the pond created by the waterfall (water is quite cold though)
If going there on a weekday it is possible to be completely alone. In that case, if you have dogs you can let them loose (under your own responsibility)
