Tips from the Community
El convent d'Aigües Vives, també anomenat Reial Monestir de Santa Maria d'Aigües Vives, és un antic monestir amb orígens que es remunten al segle XIII. L'edifici actual es va construir durant els segles XVI i XVII, amb els corresponents estils, renaixentista i barroc, si bé l'ala nord es va acabar en el segle XVIII. El monestir va pertànyer a l'orde dels agustins, orde que custodiava la imatge de la Mare de Déu d'Aigües Vives, patrona de la ciutat de La Barraca d'Aigües Vives. A mitjan segle XIX, a conseqüència de la desamortització de Mendizábal, els monjos hagueren d'abandonar el cenobi. Aquest va passar a mans dels barons de Casanova, que el destinaren com a habitatge rural. L'any 1977 el monestir fou adquirit i reformat per a destinar-lo a hotel residència per Antonio Vidal Bellver (fotògraf i empresari de Carcaixent). Actualment és propietat d'un empresari hoteler de Gandia. El 2024, la Generalitat Valenciana va instar els nous propietaris a fer obres per a mantenir aquesta obra major que ha patit un deteriorament progressiu com a conseqüència de robatoris, vandalisme i abandonament.

Between the shade of the Mondúver and the constant sound of water, the Clot de la Font is one of those places that invite you to slow down and enjoy cycling without looking at the clock. This natural spring, where the Badell—a tributary of the Vaca river—is born, is located a few kilometers from the urban center of Tavernes de la Valldigna and is a regular stop for cyclists, hikers, and runners. The access combines agricultural paths and stretches surrounded by pine forests and Mediterranean vegetation, perfect for a gravel, MTB, or even a quiet road route. The area is part of the Ruta dels Sentits and stands out for its fresh atmosphere, the shade of the Ombria, and a historic white fountain over 160 years old, next to a small waterfall that makes this place one of the most special points in the Valldigna. There's always a cycling vibe here: groups setting off at dawn, quick stops to fill water bottles, or simply a perfect place to rest before continuing towards the Cova del Bolomor, the Castell de Marinyén, or the routes of the Mondúver. The stone tables, potable water, and the tranquility of the surroundings make it a mandatory stop for any route through the Safor. A small oasis between mountain, water, and paths. Ideal for stopping, breathing, and keeping on rolling.
