Cerro de Agrás

Cerro de Agrás rises 527 meters above sea level, forming a basalt caldera that extends from northwest to southeast through the Valencia region.

The cement company Asland operated a quarry during the 1980s, extracting basanites and lavas, which modified the natural structure of the volcanic formation.

Local geologists study the minerals found at the site, including magnetite, augite, nefelina, and olivine ferrocrystals, contributing to regional geological understanding.

Visitors can access the summit through marked paths starting from the tourist information office next to Cofrentes castle or the northern bridge.

The magma chamber, located 15 kilometers underground, releases CO2 and CH4 gases that feed the thermal springs of Hervideros spa.
