Perched on a slope of Las Ca\u00f1as ravine, on the left bank of the J\u00facar, there is a small group of Levantine cave paintings. Dating from a human occupation during either the early days of the metal age or from a little before the end of the Neolithic, the Cova dels Donnes settlement also bears testament to life in the Iberian period.","galeria-poblacion":[65371,65376,65382,65387,65392,65398,65404,65409,65414,65419,65424],"descripcion_2":"

Gastronomy:<\/h4>\r\nEcological, extra virgin olive oil, its high quality making it one of the most well-known of those produced in the Valencia Region. Rice with herbs,\u00a0gazpachos<\/em>, a variety of rabbit dishes, mushrooms and\u00a0munchetas<\/em>.\r\n\r\nSpecial mention may be made of the village\u2019s traditional sweets, of which the most typical are anise rolls, sweet potato cakes, pastries, Swiss roll, etc.\r\n

Places of interest:<\/h4>\r\nEl Castillet\r\n<\/strong>In spite of the diminutive term by which it is known, El Castillet sits high and omnipresent over the agricultural lands around Millares. Atop a stark rock, the fortress looks out over the agricultural terraces towards the west and over the River J\u00facar towards the east.\r\n\r\nThe foundations of El Castillet\u2019s walls remain intact, although the passage of time has damaged significant parts of the construction. Abandon and the settling of the ground have buried the wall, as well as the remains of the internal structures, such as the barns and rooms, under a heavy layer of earth, which archaeologists are now working to remove. Excavations have brought to light pieces of ceramic used in the kitchens and which bring to light the image of a stable life in the Castle, a permanent habitat for the garrison that protected the village. Remains of pottery dating from the end of the 12th<\/sup>\u00a0century and the start of the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0century have also been discovered. They coincide with the last period of Muslim dominance in Xarq Al-Andalus, prior to the Christian conquest led by James I of Aragon.\r\n
