Banyeres de Mariola

Banyeres de Mariola is best known within the Valencian Community for its 12th-century Almohad castle, which rises above the town. Set in the foothills of the Serra de Mariola, it is closely tied to the headwaters of the Vinalopó River, whose source lies nearby at Font de la Coveta. The old centre gathers beneath the fortress, while the Museu Valencià del Paper documents a local papermaking tradition. Each April, Moros i Cristians festivities honour Saint George with parades central to Banyeres’s civic calendar.
