You can visit one of the most interesting neveras (snow caves) in the region.
When you leave the car park in front of the monastery, instead of taking the right fork back down through the village, take the left and follow the sign that says “Pujada al refugi i caves”, quickly turning left again and up a steep slope. When you reach the top, you are rewarded with stunning views, some of the best in the whole area. You will also find one of the most beautiful neveras in the Valencia region, the Cava de Agres (also known as the Cava Arqueda). These snow caves were used to store compacted snow that would later be taken, when it had turned to ice, to the major cities throughout the area.
