Busot is
the closest village to the Sierra known as the Cabeço d' Or (golden
hill). Its landscape is dry, scorched by the sun and jagged and only
the traditional dry-crops can be grown upon it. Today most of the
village's inhabitants are involved in tourism and the service sector.
The famous Canalobre caves are located about 3 kilometres from the
village, on the slopes of the legendary Cabezo d'Or, at a height of
700 metres. The caves comprise a spectacular cavern with curious
limestone formations, including grandiose candelabras. The caves can
be visited all year round. It is a small village with approximately
1,500 inhabitants whose houses are grouped around a hill topped by a
12th-century Moorish castle. The ruined castle formed part of the
Alicante's medieval defensive system.
