Bocairent, municipality of Spain
Bocairent is a municipality nestled in the Vall d'Albaida in the Province of Valencia, surrounded by hills and mountain views. The town spreads across elevated terrain with whitewashed buildings and a traditional layout of narrow streets and small squares.
The settlement emerged during the medieval period, shaped by Moorish influences that were strong throughout the Valencia region. Later, papermaking industry became central to local development and shaped how the community grew.
The town retains its connection to papermaking traditions, a craft that shaped local identity for centuries. Walking through the streets, you can still sense how this work defined the community and remains part of its character.
Exploring the town requires some physical effort, as attractions are spread across hills and narrow pathways define movement. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, and morning hours are ideal for wandering before the day becomes too warm.
The town contains caves that once served as shelter in earlier times and remain partially accessible to explore today. These underground spaces reveal how people adapted to living in this hilly terrain over many centuries.
