Accommodation in La Drova

Nature and trails around La Drova
The PR-CV 60 hiking trail crosses the Barranco de Manesa flora micro-reserve. It also passes through the La Drova residential development and by the Fuente de la Drova. Its route therefore encompasses a natural area, a populated setting and a specific connection to water. If you would like to consider nature and the settled environment together on a hike, the PR-CV 60 provides a clear thematic direction. The micro-reserve, residential development and Fuente de la Drova give the route a clear spatial structure that can guide your personal trip planning.
Routes with their own distinctive character
The Ruta TurÃstica de la Nevera i les Basses de la Drova passes by the Font and the Basses de la Drova. It is considered moderately difficult and suitable for all age groups. This route may be interesting for you if you would like to combine water sources with a hike considered moderately difficult. The combination appeals to different ideas of what an outing can be without reducing the route to a single experience. When planning the timing of an outing, the Font and the Basses de la Drova serve as two specific intermediate points along this route.
The Tavernes de la Valldigna–Mondúver–Barx route descends into the La Drova residential development after the section over the Mondúver. In addition, the Cova del Parpalló–Font del Garrofer SL-79 route is a 7.5 km circular hiking trail. This gives you two clear points of reference for your planning: on the first route, the descent into the La Drova residential development is part of the route, while on the second, the circular shape and length define the trail profile. The 7.5 km length gives the circular route a clear framework for personal day planning.
Caves and historical traces
Barx and its pedanÃa, La Drova, are considered an important area for speleology, with their caves and shafts. This also makes the subject interesting for you if you would like to view the landscape not only through its trails but also through its caves and shafts. For those interested in culture, the focus here is on the caves and shafts in Barx and La Drova.
In 1859, two families from Xaló settled in La Drova. The façade features a sundial dating from 1799. The buildings housed both workers on the monastery's lands and draft animals.
