One of the most impressive spots of the rich natural enviroment of the county of Alicante are the caves of Canalobre near the town of Busot.

The caves are located on only 3 kilometre from the town of Busot and they belong to the mountain ridge “la Sierra de Cabeza de Oro”. The entrance of the caves you will find on a height of about 700 metre above sea level. There is a signposted road towards caves of Canalobre, where you will find a small information centre with a shop where you can buy special rocks and minerals like: opal, jade, quartz and more.

The biggest attraction of the caves is the central room which is, because of its height, 70 metre, and its beauty often compared with a cathedral. The caves of Canalobre are drip stone caves with an average temperature of throughout the year of 18 and 19 degrees Celsius. In the drip stone caves you can see during the guided tour various different forms of rocks in the form of animals, candlestick and other spectacular forms.

The acoustic shape is also perfect, therefore the caves are used for concerts on regular base.
