El Cau is Mariano Ros's great little artistic project. A unique and wonderful outdoor place in the El Tabaià mountain range. This open-air museum is sculpted on the walls of an old quarry in Ferriol, one of the districts of Elche. From here the stone that was used to rebuild the church of Santa María was taken. Mariano Ros, retired shoemaker and mountain fan, spent years building and sculpting in stone a multitude of figures representing the life of the people of Elche. For eight years, from 2000 to 2008 (when he was forbidden to continue with his work because he was in the public forest), he dedicated himself to creating this emblematic, with the help of his friends Cándido, Vicente and Pere. Among all they made are numerous figures, among which the representations of the most emblematic monuments and icons of Elche stand out. Among all the figures carved in the rock we can find works that represent the Swamp (which was the other place we visited that same morning), the Palm Grove, the Lady of Elche, the Misteri, the Church of Santa María ... And much more. In this curious sculptural group we will also find other original works with which he wanted to pay homage to his family, to the women, to characters loved by the neighbors ... Some sculpted animals and, also some interesting construction, such as the Pyramid, the Tower of Ros or the Cau (a small room carved out of the stone. Hence its name. Cau means burrow). Without a doubt, it is one of those beautiful places to take photos in Elche that we must know. Next to a large stone table we find the refuge. Another room excavated in the rock, a little larger, that houses a table, several chairs and what seems to be some materials for the maintenance of the place. On the table there is a notebook that they have left so that visitors can leave their opinions. In addition to all his artistic work, various species of trees, shrubs and aromatic plants have been planted in El Cau. All native and typical of this arid terrain and the Mediterranean climate. The land on which this open-air museum in Elche is located is dry, arid and with very little water. El Cau is about 15 minutes by car from Elche. The path that takes us to the point where we can park the car is asphalt. So getting here is good and easy. It has no loss. Here we will see a sign carved in stone that indicates the direction we have to follow to get to the Cau. In Google Maps you can find the point where you can leave the car. From here, there will only be about 600 meters to reach El Cau. The path that leads from the place where we left the car to El Cau is quite short and easy to do, although it runs through a fairly stony area, so there is a lot of loose stone and it is also on a slope. Going up can cost us a little if we do it in the hottest hours. Keep in mind that it is a very arid area, so you should always carry a lot of water, do not forget your hat, sunglasses and good shoes. The route is very easy to follow since there are several signs drawn or sculpted in the rock, just walk and enjoy. It is worth climbing to the highest parts. Both from "El balcó d’Elx" and from the "Torre de Ros", the views are truly impressive.

The visit begins in a small exhibition room where some of the pieces found at the site are shown, objects that, together with an introductory video, teach us aspects of the daily life of a noble family in a rural settlement during the last centuries of Roman times (IV and V A.D.). The tour continues visiting the archaeological remains of the town, of which for now the baths and the oecus, the room of the dominus, are open to the public.

It is located on Ruperto Chapí Street, very close to the Museum. To better understand the site, you have at your disposal virtual reality glasses where you can watch a 360º short film that shows you, in a totally immersive way, what the town was like in 412 AD. In addition, you have at your disposal educational panels with texts in different languages accompanied by photographs, images and 3D reconstructions. The entire route is accessible, both for people with reduced mobility and with baby carriages.

This building was ordered to be built at the beginning of the twentieth century, specifically in 1901, by its owner, Mrs. Antonia Navarro Mira, to the Murcian architect D. Pedro Cerdán Martínez, author of the project, and completed in 1903. It is one of the best preserved houses in which the modernist decoration is found with greater profusion and splendor. This house, today owned by the Mediterranean Foundation, consists of a ground floor and two floors, an excellent work of lattices on windows and balconies stands out, but it is inside where the elements of modernism are developed with all their opulence: carved wood, glass, stuccoes, ceiling paintings and murals, marble, period furniture, etc., highlighting for their singular beauty the staircase and the courtyard surrounded by white marble columns. The House-Museum also contains representative collections of graphic arts from the modernist period (brass boxes, posters, bookplates, postcards, commercial advertisements, etc.) as well as a handwritten documentary collection of the distinguished Spanish sailor and scientist of the eighteenth century, Jorge Juan y Santacilia, in which important documents for understanding the role of Jorge Juan in the Enlightenment stand out. These collections, together with the architectural ensemble of the House-Museum, allow us to have a global vision of what the different facets of modernism were.
