The natural features offer different perspectives.

Water, Caves and Wetlands

The Fuente del Abrullador is five kilometres from Chella, and its spring supplies Chella with water. In the small cave “La Cueva que Llueve”, seepage and drops from the waterfall have formed stalactites and stalagmites. El Paraíso is a small, naturally protected wetland with lush vegetation and a local microclimate.

Local History and Architectural Heritage

The oldest streets of Chella still preserve its Muslim urban layout. The Iglesia Parroquial de la Virgen de Gracia was rebuilt in the 18th century after the 1763 earthquake. The Cuevas del Turco in Chella are grain-storage caves that have been protected from unwanted visitors since the 13th century thanks to their strategic location.

Festivals and Craft Traditions

Chella preserves an old craft tradition of producing Caliqueños. The patron saint festivals in honour of Candelaria, San Blas and Santísimo Cristo del Refugio take place every year from 2 to 4 February. The celebration in honour of San Blas includes a traditional music concert and the distribution of anise rolls. The specific February dates and traditional customs form a distinct temporal focus alongside local history and landscape.
