Begin with a comfortable drive through the scenic Valencian countryside until reaching the historic town of Xàtiva, a place of great importance in Spanish history and the birthplace of the famous Borja (Borgia) family.
Rising dramatically above the town, Xàtiva Castle stretches along the ridge of the Vernissa mountain, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the surrounding valleys and orange groves.
Once at the castle, explore its impressive walls, towers, and gateways while learning about its Iberian, Roman, Islamic, and Christian past. The fortress is divided into the Minor Castle and the Major Castle, each with its own fascinating stories of sieges, prisoners, and royal power. From the highest points, enjoy unforgettable photo opportunities with sweeping views of the city and the landscape beyond.
After the castle visit, continue to Xàtiva’s charming historic centre. Stroll through its picturesque streets, admire traditional architecture, and discover key landmarks such as the Collegiate Basilica. You will also have free time to enjoy a coffee, taste local pastries, or explore small shops at your own pace.
