Known also as the Valley of the Moon it has been inhabited since prehistoric times (witnessed by the petroglyph inscriptions) and by semi nomadic tribes since the Nabataeans but is best known for its association with T E Lawrence - Lawrence of Arabia - who based himself here to encourage the Arab Revolt and to attack Turkish Forces of the Ottoman Empire during WW1. He was later immortalized by the film of the same name, made in 1962 by David Lean. Today the only inhabitants are Bedouin tribes and transient tourists.

The excursion to the blue puddle in Chulilla is by far the route with the most history and one of the most beautiful and with the most anecdotes to tell.\n\nPhilology tells us that the blue puddle takes its name from the term Arabic origin azud, which indicates the presence of a small dam in the area, used to irrigate the orchard adjacent to the town. If we look closely we will still be able to observe some remains of stalking that depart right from this point.\n\nThe road to the blue puddle is an easy route to travel and is quite unmarked so it is not easy to miss. There are two possible roads, one that would start in the southern part of the town, which is the most recommended for those who do not want to walk a lot or climb slopes, since they can park nearby (down in the river) and save the return climb. This road is born from a road that is located by the municipal pool and before reaching the cemetery. We will meet in the lower part of the town known as the barranquillo neighbourhood. We can move forward and go down almost to river level, the ideal place to park our vehicle near the wastewater treatment plant. Once there, we have to follow the path on our right. This option would give us a chance to fully witness the sickles of the Turia River\n\nThe other road goes down the north side of the town towards the river and we can start it with a street near the Plaza de la baronia, the central square of Chulilla where there are several bars. It is perfectly indicated its route through the streets of the town and then there is no loss, always down and up. We can also ask the locals who will kindly answer us.
Indigenous people have been carving in rock for thousands of years as a means of written communication.  Petroglyphs are either images, designs or symbols chiseled, carved or scratched on the surface of the rock.  Many of these carvings have endured over the centuries and are still visible today.  The image on the right side of this rock depicts a round face.  Modern natives in this area identify this as a Kachina, or spirit being.  Research suggests that the Kachina Culture came to this area around 1300AD.  Similar Kachina symbols are used in modern Puebloan pottery and weavings which helps make the connection from past to present.  We don’t always know the true meaning of these carvings or how to interpret them.  And maybe it’s not our place to try.  We can however enjoy them for their artistry.  These petroglyphs were photographed at Puerco Pueblo in Petrified Forest National Park near Holbrook, Arizona, USA.
