Canelobre Cave is found in Busot. Considered the highest cave in spain, and one of the largest at just over 80,000 cubic meters in volume, this is an experience not to be missed, even the view looking down the valley toward the costal town of “El Campello” is worth the trip. Access is well signed from Busot village. The caves or “cuevas” were used during the spanish civil war for building and repair of vital aircraft engines for a brief 5 year period in the 1930’s. the caves were then opened to the public in 1965.
