What to expect
You'll depart Saturday morning from your chosen pickup location (Albir, Benidorm, or Calpe) and head inland towards the Jalón Valley. The first stop is the weekly antique market—two full hours to hunt for vintage furniture, collectables, and oddities. The valley itself is wine country; you'll have time to explore local producers and sample their offerings. After lunch (bring your own or eat locally), you'll descend into the Cave of Skulls. The cave itself is vast and genuinely ancient, with visible layers of geological history. You'll see where human remains and stone tools have been uncovered, though these are housed in museums rather than on site.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for the market and cave terrain. The caves stay cool year-round, so bring a light layer. No food or drink provided—eat at the market or nearby cafés. Wheelchair access available; not suitable for those with spinal conditions. Coach journey totals roughly 90 minutes each way.
