BUSOT   Busot

   If you’ve got your own car, or you have rented one, you can’t miss a visit to this municipality, which is located 40 kilometres from Benidorm, and shelters one of the most amazing caves in the Comunidad Valenciana: “Las Cuevas del Canelobre”. These caves are about 150 metres long, and 50 metres tall, and they are full of stalactites and stalagmites that form fanciful shapes. Many of them look like candleholders - in fact, canelobre  is the Catalan word for candleholder. Some other take funny names, such as “dragon’s head” or “spaghetti”...see if you can find them! You can visit them any time of the year, just 3 kilometres from Busot, at the foot of the mountain known as “El cabezón de oro”(the big golden head).
