Half day

Guadalest

This tiny historic village sits on a peak between the mountain ranges. A natural strongpoint, it was used by the Moors as a fortress centuries ago - you enter the remains of the fort via a tunnel in the rock. Guadalest is famous for its lacemaking and crochet work – shops selling artisan work lie in the heart of the village.

Half day

Maserof wine museum and bodega

Take a step back in time in the beautiful Jalón Valley and visit this restored finca and bodega – a rural farmhouse and winery – that are about 300 years old. Naturally there will be a wine tasting, but you can also wander around the grounds to enjoy stunning views over the vineyards and the countryside beyond.

Half day

Valencia

A tour of Spain’s third-largest city starts with a drive through orange and lemon groves and rice fields.

In Valencia, you'll visit the cathedral, dating from 1262. To the right of the main entrance, in the flamboyant Gothic-style Capilla del Santo Cáliz, is what is claimed to be the Holy Grail, the chalice from which Jesus sipped during the Last Supper. Plaza de la Virgin occupies the site that was the forum of Roman Valencia. Beside the cathedral is the church of Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados, home to an image of Virgin Mary which is supposedly responsible for a number of miracles. Another highlight is the 15th-century La Lonja, a beautiful former silk exchange building in high Gothic style and UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Please be aware that this excursion involves quite extensive walking with a local guide.

Full day
