For deciding where to stay, Los Cojos offers several clearly distinct points of interest: Bodegas Haya is in the village, the Ermita de la Virgen de la Candelaria was built in 1970, and a circular route connects Los Cojos with Los Isidros. There is also a fixed patron saint’s day in February and natural attractions in the surrounding area. You can therefore plan your stay around whether wine, cultural heritage, a tour or a particular feast day is your priority.
Winegrowing and Bobal
A fifth-generation family winery, Bodegas Haya has its own organic vineyards. The winery also has a century-old, ungrafted Bobal vine that survived phylloxera. These two details highlight different aspects of winegrowing: the vineyards of the estate and a single old vine with its own remarkable history. The combination of family continuity and a particular vine makes wine a tangible part of a trip to Los Cojos.
During visits arranged in advance, a family member guides visitors through the fields and winery. These visits include tastings of the wines, cava and vermouth straight from the barrel. Advance booking is required for winery visits; confirm the date and availability before you arrive.
Cultural heritage and a date for the festivities
The Ermita de la Virgen de la Candelaria de Los Cojos was built in 1970 and is designated as a Valencian cultural asset of local significance. The year of construction and the designation answer different questions: the year places the building in time, while the designation describes its status as part of the local cultural heritage. If you would like to consider the village’s cultural character as well as its winegrowing, this offers a specific reference point with a precise date.
The patron saint’s festivities in honour of Candelaria take place on 2 February. If this date matters to your travel plans, check the current programme in advance; the recurring festive period and the event programme for a particular year are two separate planning considerations.
Circular route and nature
The “Ruta Biosaludable: Los Isidros–Los Cojos–Los Isidros” circular route connects Los Isidros and Los Cojos. In Los Cojos, it can start beside the municipal pelota court (frontón), where the route information board is located. Both the precise starting point and the connection to Los Isidros help with orientation. Check the signage and trail conditions locally, as route conditions can change.
The natural attractions also differ in their geographical scope. At least part of Los Cojos lies in the buffer zone of the Parque Natural de las Hoces del Cabriel. Consult the current park map for the precise boundaries. The Rambla de la Albosa is considered a standout natural attraction in the vicinity of Los Cojos. These two natural attractions are geographically distinct: the buffer zone concerns the location of at least part of the village, while the Rambla is a destination nearby.
