Jalon & The Caves of Skulls

Join us for the day as we visit the award winning wine making region of Jalon, home to one of the regions largest antiques markets and then on to the caves of skulls that are said to date back 150 million years.

Spain is famous for its winemaking and arguably produces some of the world´s finest wines and the Costa Blanca is no exception.

Located just 30-40 minutes away from Bendiorm, you will find the award-winning wine making region of Jalon, set in a picturesque valley surrounded by mountains.

Jalon is not just famous for its wines though. On a Saturday it plays host to one of the oldest and largest "rastros" (car boot sales) of the Costa Blanca, that draws people from afar to rummage through the goods and antiques on sale and you will have 2 hours to enjoy all that Jalon has to offer.

Next, we head inland, passing through valleys of vineyards and orchards filled with almond and orange trees before arriving at the caves of the "skulls" that are believed to have been formed some 150 million years ago and where they have found traces of human life dating back to 50 thousand years ago. Entrance fee to the caves is included and here you will have an hour and a quarter to explore the caves at your leisure.
