Our first train journey takes us to the historic city of Xàtiva, renowned for its rich past and impressive heritage. We explore the old town, including the historic hospital and collegiate church, before making our way up to the spectacular hilltop castle. After visiting the castle, we return to the town for a delicious lunch. The walk covers around six kilometres. In the afternoon, we travel back to Valencia by train.
On the fourth day, we explore Albufera Natural Park, a unique landscape of pine forest beach lake and rice fields. We travel by public bus to El Saler, set within the heart of the pine woods.
