Bocairent, Valencia, Spain
Moorish style entrance gate to the main square in Bocairent, a medieval village in the Sierra de Mariola mountains in Vall d'Albaida, Valencia, Spain. Through the arch is the bell tower, rebuilt 1766, of the Iglesia Parroquial de la Asuncion de Nuestra Senora, built on the old Moorish castle in 1516. Just outside the village is the Parque Natural de la Sierra de Mariola, founded 2002, and also the Covetes dels Moros, a series of around 50 caves with rectangular openings in a cliff face on the Barranc de la Fos, created 10th - 11th century, thought to be Hispano-Arab storage barns from the Andalusian period.
