Now Ayora counts with a new tourist project called “The route of the Red line” that takes you through the town showing all the traditional and historical secrets of the municipality. The route begins at the Tourism office of Ayora. Following a red line on the floor you will find the way crossing the town supported by informative panels and audio devices that guide you through the route.

The Iberian town of the Castellar of Meca It is an important Iberian town - that should enjoy of certain prosperity -; inhabited among the centuries IV and II B.C. almost with security it would be dismantled by the Roman army. It occupied a surface of about 800 mtrs. of long for 350 of wide. Their primitive residents' abundant prints are conserved: reservoirs, stairways carved in the stone, ceramic remains and their singular roads of wheels, one of the examples better conserved of roads from before of the Roman era. They can perfectly still be observed remains of the old wall that fortified the town, although everything he, for their singular location, constitutes an authentic natural strength. Only a visit on the own land will be able to realize the true exceptional value of this establishment inside the Iberian culture. A visit will only demonstrate us the because of the declaration of historical-artistic Monument of the Castellar of Meca in the year 1931.

Cave of Don Juan Don Juan's Cave located in the town of Jalance in the call Sierra of the Fresh anchovy (a few kilometres from Ayora) it is an authentic geologic jewel that by itself deserves a visit. The interior of the immense grotto is formed by stalactites and stalagmites that adopt different forms of great beauty. The Lake of the Desires, the Sigma of the Hell, the Devil's Grotto, the Mirador of the Cod, the Line of the Real Turkey, etc. (as they have baptized them) they are some of the marvels that we can contemplate.

Cave paintings. When we were presented with the possibility of visiting the cave paintings from “The Old Woman’s cave” by Alpera Town hall with the purpose of popularizing part of its inheritance, we couldn’t do anything else that welcome it with satisfaction and enthusiasm because it allowed us to continue a task in which we are set on doing since some years ago and that is making accessible to the public such an important and suggestive aspect from our history, but so forgotten, as prehistoric rock art. But besides, we were offered the opportunity of diffusing it through one of the most outstanding painted shelters in all the Mediterranean Peninsular Coastal as “The Old Woman’s Cave” is. Since the first studies, adjoining to its discovery in 1910, several publications have gathered both aspects of the contents of this deposit but the truth is that, after 80 years, an exhaustive and detailed study of this panel is still absent, not only from the historic-archaeological point of view but also from the tourist one. Because there is no doubt that we are before an authentic and invaluable work of art, generally singular, with special conditions of physical and climatic protection which fits perfectly into our urban culture. We don’t realize we are before millenary works of art made in the same place where they were conceived, wrapped up by a natural setting similar to the one existing at the moment of its execution and in the care of its own nature. All these circumstances make us get closer to the prehistoric artist’s world in which work and nature make an inseparable whole. “The Old Woman’s Cave” owns these two last picture arts which are exceptionally representative of the East art of the peninsular geography, dated between the IV and II millennium.
