The La Cova Negra municipal natural area is located in the municipality of Játiva, province of Valencia. In the Cova Negra is the Middle Paleolithic site in which remains of Homo Neanderthal have appeared. This natural area is located in the narrow valley formed by the Albaida River, as it crosses the reliefs of the Sierra Grossa, at the exit of the so-called Estret de les Aigües. In the widest meander formed by the Albaida River, at the height of Pico del Paller, you can see the Cova Negra, named for the blackish appearance of its walls.

It is one of the oldest visible remains of the heritage of the Pobla Llarga area, which miraculously continues to withstand the waters of the Barranc de Barxeta. You will automatically get there via the Via Augusta. The bridge was originally made of reeds, clay and stones. In the meantime, the authorities have put a metal support structure underneath.
