Museum
The Valor Chocolate Museum in Villajoyosa is a must-visit for chocolate lovers. This unique museum offers multimedia displays that cover the history of cocoa cultivation and the chocolate-making process, from bean to bar. Visitors can explore the tasting room and sample a wide range of chocolates, as well as visit the on-site chocolate shop. The museum, which is part of the Valor factory, provides an opportunity to learn about the entire chocolate production process.
Really nice factory and museum visit/experience that is free and available in English or Spanish. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very kind. Lots of interesting original machines and historical artifacts related to the history of the company.
Lisa A — Google review
What an amazing way to keep such a family story going for many many years, a free guided tour demonstrates the passion about chocolate and the commitment to the business, the tour was very well organized, the guide is very knowledgable and nothings better than ending the tour by a chocolate tasting session.
Rony G — Google review
An amazing experience! Free entry, it’s a guided tour every hour (you can get a ticket on arrival and maximum for 50 people/hour). You can also book online and you get priority access. The museum is really well done: the history of this family and 5 generations business! Impressive… the chocolate is very good, you can test different ones at the end of the tour and highly recommended to stock yourself with a few bars 🤪😁🤭
David K — Google review
It's a nice tour with a small museum. You don't get to see much of the factory floor, but the guide was pleasant. The gift shop has some samples, though not every flavor they offer. Prices were a little high, but not insane.
Chris B — Google review
It was an interesting place to visit and great that it was free. The guide spoke very quickly and seemed fairly disinterested in the job. We were just another tour group... which we were! You get to see the factory from a viewing platform, which was cool, however they were cleaning up when we were there so not too much to see. I was on the English speaking tour (there are two a day, 10am and 4pm) and weirdly there were quite a number of Spanish on it too. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Villajoyosa but book online so you ensure you get a space. Capacity is 50 and my tour was full. Ooh, and you do get a little tasting at the end (don't be at the back of the line though, it goes quickly)!
Sally T — Google review
It's good fun. The smell there is incredibly good. You can get online ticket (6h before or up to 30 people) and printed tickets in person (30 min before the event and up to 20 people). Getting golden tickets could be a bit chaotic and difficult. It's a short visit where a very friendly guide explains the origin of Willy Valor and the Chocolate factory. It ends with a quick view from a window of the packaging area of the factory, and some sampling at the shop. Don't expect to see the magic of Willy Valor nor Ompa Loompas.
Javier M — Google review
What a lovely trip around the chocolate museum and factory. Coming from Bournville, the home of Cadbury chocolate, it was so nice to see the similarities of how they developed. Very big on family Valor is now 6th generation and still family owned. Sadly Cadbury didn't maintain that. The guide was very good and was happy to answer additional questions. What a charming hour spent here.
Steven C — Google review
Great free tour with a little tasting in the end.The cocholates are very tasty especially dark one with almonds.Tour lasts about 45min,you have to book in advance,if you don't canacel on time you are charged 5 eur per person.Tours in English are at 10am and 4pm. Usually these types of tours are being charged so this is great opportunity to finde out about the history of the chocolate making and tradition of Valor family.

It is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Benidorm and offers a quieter bathing experience due to its hidden location between two main beaches. The cove stretches for over 300 meters with fine golden sand and calm, crystal-clear waters.
Beautiful beach, nice to have a cocktail & watch the sunset ❤️You can pay for some loungers on parasol in the day. Lots of places to eat & a lovely small bakery nearby to buy pizza slices or cakes for the beach. There was a spa supermarket nearby for snacks & drinks for the beach.
Jane B — Google review
Having a great time staying here. The place is well kept lovely relaxed atmosphere, if potentially say at worst the locals can be a tad rude but that said most are very polite.. but the locals maybe sick of the English I heard some mutter 😆. The beach is stunning tbh with a good few waves to enjoy. Nice bars and food places, chemist supermarkets,, bus trip for 2 adults 3 kids was only 6 euros and 15 mind. The Beach is sandy and well kept.. it’s more of a locally used Spanish beach so it’s nice and not full of noisy English 🤣. Other than some locals it’s quite honestly a stunning little place to come as a family 💯 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A very charming beach with incredible sunsets, perfect for playing volleyball or just sunbathing with family and friends. The only downside is that they don't clear the seaweed, which makes the beach seem dirty.

Historical palace, in the past times the heart beat of Gandia. Upon visiting you can use the audio guide offered when purchasing the tickets. I love all the little details in the ceiling paintings, the ceramic tiles and the Chapel. Them days people didn't skip on spending money on art, it's obvious. We enjoyed the visit very much.

The Ducal Palace of Gandia is a real gem! Quick tip: evening light photos are really fantastic as you can go to the terrace of the palace.

A true must-see when visiting Gandia! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A lovely palace with a mix of styles (Neogothic, Baroque) as it has had a longevous existence with a variety of owners (Mostly the Borja family but afterwards the Osuna and last the Jesuits). It has on display wonderful tiling from Manises with a variety of floral motifs that are typical from the region and gorgeous to look at. Being one of the most salient constructions in Gandía, it is well worth the visit if you are around.

The Castle of Cullera is a restored hilltop castle dating back to the 10th century, offering scenic water views and housing a museum. Situated in the coastal town of Cullera, in Valencia, Spain, it provides panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The castle has historical significance as it was involved in battles and reconstructions over the centuries.
Taxi to car park, funicular from there up to castle proper. We had reductions on everything because we're old, €1 each, funicular and for castle! Card payment only. Good audio visual at entrance (English subtitles) giving history of the castle. Can get app with audio aid for tour. English translations at exhibits. Very very interesting. Wonderful views everywhere. Walked down to town along the calvery track dotted with the Stations of the Cross. Steep in places but benches to rest. Tower (closed for siesta) but can get to canon . Brings you out behind market. 600 metres but with switch backs closer to 2km. First stop beer and snack!
Sue S — Google review
Castell de Cullera is a great place to visit, both for its history and for the amazing views of the city and the sea. Driving up, you’ll already find some nice spots to stop for photos, and at the top you get a full 360° panoramic view. Parking is limited, so it can take some time to find a spot. There are public restrooms available for free, which is very convenient. Once you park, you’ll see the option to take a small elevator for €1. Honestly, unless you have accessibility needs, it’s not worth it—the elevator only covers a very short section of stairs, which you can walk in 3–4 minutes without any problem. Even if you don’t go inside the castle or arrive after closing time, it’s still worth going up for the views and to enjoy the surroundings. The walk and scenery make it a very rewarding stop in Cullera.
Ricardo P — Google review
Amazing views of the local city and landscape, the castle is only small but very beautiful and well worth a visit to learn about its history and to take in its architecture. It’s very impressive at the building work to get it there and how formidable it would have been in its day. If you like history, views and architecture then you should absolutely go and visit Parking was fine and there were public WC. Unfortunately the church which is attached was not open on the day we went (Monday) so didn’t get to see inside which is a shame, the cafe also was not open. There is a weird tiny funicular rail which cost €1 PP you definitely don’t need it but the kids enjoyed it
Jack M — Google review
Lovely place with an exceptional view and a good bit of history. Towering above the town of Cullera, this little castle provides incredible views of the area. It's not very big as it used to be a military fort rather than a typical castle. There's also a nearby hiking trail going around the mountain. While there is some information in English, the inside of the castle itself gives information almost exclusively in Valencian and Spanish, though for those interested it's relatively easy to just translate it.
Nikolay G — Google review
We were able to grab the last parking space at the top of the hill and luckily there was a mini funicular to take Deb the final distance to the castle entrance. Admission was €3 but it is a small castle so we probably spent less than 30 minutes inside, including watching the 12 minute information film (English subtitles). The interior was unadorned and the battlements were small but with nice views of the coast and the rice fields. We had an ice cream and a coffee at the cafe terrace and then I walked down the steps to view the castle from below and then down a small path to view the octagonal tower and segments of the town wall, built during the Islamic period. The castle itself has an Islamic base and was then updated and expanded after the Christian reconquest in the 13th century. It's next expansion was in the 16th century after Muslim pirates sacked the town and carried the population off into slavery.

Gorgeous panoramic views from the top, overlooking the town of Cullera and the bay. Sadly it was closed by the time we got there, but we were still able to walk the grounds, which is a lovely walk with some hiking areas if desired. Beautiful grounds with great views and worth the small walk around to see the different viewpoints. Wish we could have seen the beauty and history inside, but still a 5 star experience just from the outside!

Museo Cueva de Dragut, also known as Dragut's Caves, is a fascinating historical site in Cullera, Spain. These caves were once used as a hideout by the infamous Ottoman pirate Dragut during the 16th century. Situated along the coast of Cullera, this attraction offers visitors an intriguing look into the region's past. The natural cave is filled with artifacts such as swords, guns, and model boats from that era.
Hidden attractions near Cullera's Lighthouse. Stairs take you to the cafetería and entrance to the museum inside the cave. Guided tour is very good as guide explain the history of the pirates and artifacts in all underground chambers. It has a small ship with a broken mast. Guided tour ends with a lights and sound show of a storm at sea. It is a cool tour for the price. After visiting the cave we walked outside up to the hill to see a hermitage, a sculpture with two huge hands and a natural balcony to see the lighthouse from the distance.

Amazing cave! Totally different from all caves that I've been in. It's breathtaking, worth of visiting.
Natasa S — Google review
A curious place, well worth a visit, even if you are not interested in special effects and superficial pirate stories. It's a huge, peculiarly winding natural cave, quite atmospheric, and with a bit of imagination you can almost "see" bad old pirates hiding there in the mid-sixteenth century. There are many old artefacts - sables, guns, jugs models of boats etc. I was given an individual tour by an earnest young guide, in English. Pity I wasn't allowed to take photos. There is also a café by the entrance, which is rather handy.
Tanya Y — Google review
I love this place and have visited a few times - always travelling on the dotto train (tren turistico) from Cullera beach (get on near Ale Hop). They've created a great experience building on the history of the invasion of the town by pirates. Not for those with mobility problems, since as far as I know the out way out is via some very steep stairs.

We went there in June 2019. 5 euros per adult and 3 for kids. Our 2 yo didn’t pay and we didn’t have to ask or show papers. We were lucky to be the only ones so we had the guide to ourselves. Visit was with a guide who did it in Spanish. He was nice but spoke a bit too quickly. The information in the cave is limited and the artefacts (swords and guns mostly) were alright but nothing impressive. We like the bergantine boat at the bottom. It was also nice to be away from the heat for 30-40 minutes. Kids enjoyed it but stairs can be steep.

malvarrosa Beach is wide, clean, and great for a relaxing day by the sea. I rented 2 sunbeds and a parasol for €30 on the right side near the beach bar service was quick and friendly. The sand is soft, and the water is usually calm, perfect for swimming. Security is visible with Red Cross staff and Guardia police patrolling on quads, which makes the beach feel very safe. Tip: go early in the morning to avoid the midday rush

I would say one of the best beaches I’ve been to in a long time. The sand is so thin but soft. They have showers outdoors and fountains to wash your feet in. You can rent an umbrella and some beach chairs and enjoy your day here. You can walk up and down the beach and enjoy the views and collecting seashells. Overall, if you happen to be in Valencia, I would highly recommend a stop here.

The ancient fortification's walls stretch for about a kilometer and provide stunning views over the town and sea.
Honestly, when I came to Valencia I wasn’t really looking into castles nearby. But when I found out about this one, it was the first place I went. I can’t even put into words how much I loved it. For its age, it’s incredibly well preserved. I’m not sure about if there always no tickets needed. But when I was there the entrance was free. We visited during the day and, for most of the time, we had the place almost entirely to ourselves. So because of that, besides the amazing views and the historical value, we also took a bunch of fun photos. In short – a wonderful place!

While it’s a bit of an uphill hike, it is well worth it to get to the top and enjoy the magnificent 360-degree view of the town below. We stopped by the main visitor centre and were greeted by the staff who explained the site’s long history and the best routes to follow to explore the property.

This is actually two castles on the two peaks of the spur with 2km of walls linking them. They have evolved from Iberian, through Roman and Islamic fortifications and then further improvements in each century, culminating in machine gun bunkers being built in the Spanish Civil War in 1936. We saw the Jewish necropolis, built into the hillside as we climbed and then entered through the gates into the castle itself to find that it was actually closed and only the information centre was open. This was free and was very good, we probably spent 30 minutes learning about the history of the site and its occupants as well as watching an English language film. I have no idea when the castle itself will reopen and can't see any definite information online.

Woah. Another epic place, beautiful view of the green surroundings and towns from the top. Visitor centre with toilets at location, good history. Wear sturdy shoes tho for some gravel paths

How do you even rate a castle? It was awesome. There are so many areas to check out and hike around. Very cool to see parts of a structure so old that it's basically random sized rocks cemented together.
Miguel — Google review
The castle was impressive! The views were breathtaking, parts of the castle were very well preserved/restored, and it's amazing to think how much history has happened here. The guy at the entrance was very knowledgeable about the history of the castle and he can tell you the history in English as well. I really recommend a visit. It was quite near the train station and it was free to enter.

Coves de Sant Josep

Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Coves de Sant Josep offers guided boat trips and hikes through a subterranean river that dates back to the Triassic era, making it the longest in Europe. Visitors can enjoy a 45-minute leisurely boat ride along the underground river, covering approximately 800 meters. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, guests will explore various rooms within the caves, including the Bat Room, Dianas Lake, Siphon Gallery, Dry Zone, and Cathedral.
Great find! We couldn’t buy tickets online directly as they were sold out for weeks. I really wanted to go so we nearly paid €50+ euro’s per head but we didn’t need transfers as we had a rental car and was also travelling on from Valencia to Barcelona. In the end we was late leaving the Vila so didn’t book the excursion tour. We decided to go and see if we could get tickets in person. We were very lucky as got the last 4 tickets for the day. (It was around 12.45.pm) we went and had a nice slow lunch then went and got an icecream. We then had a look around the tourist shops and drove to the top of the mountain to check out the views. Then it was time to go back and go in the caves. They were fantastic. I would have loved to of been able to take more pictures though. Guide didn’t speak lots of English but she tried. Majority was only in Spanish. Didn’t help that when she did speak in English there was another family that was so loud you couldn’t tell what the lovely guide was saying. Facilities; lots of nice restaurants and food, clean toilets small kids play park. Shops and market stalls.

Booked online and had a great time! Free parking available, and some are even covered. There are some bathrooms right next to the parking lot. On the way to the cove entrance, you’ll pass many stores, restaurants, snacks, so plenty of options to eat/shop. The tour itself was about 50 minutes. First part is a short boat ride for about 10-15 minutes, then you get off and walk a bit thru the cave for another 10-15 minutes, and then get on the same boat for the last part back. You can only take photos/videos towards the end, for about 5-10 minutes. The guide who is rowing the boat will let you know when you can use your phones. Water is mostly clear and shallow (1-2 meters deep). There are a few sections where the water goes deeper (around 11 meters) but the boat doesn’t pass on top of it. You do share the boat with other random people. Overall it was fun but mostly relaxing and uneventful. Wouldn’t do it a second time!
Ricardo A — Google review
Well managed site and surrounding, a very unique experience. There are multiple restautants and gift shops around as well. Tickets can be purchased on site, tours start frequently, there are a lot of guides. The water inside the cave was very clear, the tour starts off with a 5-10 minute boat ride in the caves, continues with 10 minute walk, and ends with another boat ride. The boats had one tour guide each, and could fit about 10-14 people. The guide was in the back and pushed the boat forward like a Gondola, with a long wood. The only downside was that the guide spoke very little English. There is plenty of free parking outside.
CJ — Google review
This was so much fun! You are allowed to take pictures but only when permitted at one point in the boat trip. I would've liked to spend more time in the boat just checking out the caves but you are moved through the cave waters by a guide. In an area filled with ancient ruins and such old history, it's crazy to think they just found these caves in the middle of the 20th century. They were truly explored only in the 1960s. They still don't know how big it is, where it starts, and where it ends. Worth the hour's trip from Valencia to visit.

The Caves of Saint Josep, I came here with a large group from our cruise ship for the day, we had a timed entry into the San Jose Caves. Each boat holds about 12 people and we went slowly through the water while the guide pointed out various formations. There was a short walkway too, in the middle of the tour. This is said to be "Europe's longest navigable underground river", which is the unique reason I took the tour! It was quite enjoyable and I can recommend it.
Eileen W — Google review
I came to #SanJoséCave because I was curious about the cave experience—those online videos looked super eye-catching, and hey, I’d never done it before. Figured it was time to tick it off the list. After a long bus ride, here’s how it went: 1️⃣ Not as stunning as expected—colors were pretty dull 2️⃣ Most of the tour felt rushed and not very photo-worthy 3️⃣ The journey was long and repetitive… got a bit boring 🥱 4️⃣ Some fellow boat passengers were seriously rude—taking sneaky photos and spinning around nonstop 🤬 5️⃣ Ticket price wasn’t cheap 🤑 6️⃣ Very few food options nearby ❌🥣 7️⃣ Tried to sit in their restaurant with my own snacks and got told off (even though the place was empty—guess we all know why the flies were the only customers 🪰) Bottom line: There are plenty of other places around the world with way better value for your time and money 🌍📈

Fuente de los Baños

Thermal baths
Hot Springs & Geysers
Fuente de los Baños is a collection of thermal springs located in a river gorge surrounded by lush greenery. The river features stone beaches and offers opportunities for swimming in its warm blue-green waters. The area has both shallow and deep sections with rocky or sandy bottoms, as well as other pools along the valley. Visitors are advised to bring sandals and a blanket due to the gravelly or grassy terrain around the pools.
Very beautiful park! Make sure to get your own food cause the restaurant serves mostly bread with very small amount of filling. Drinking water from springs is available.

Just an hour away you find this beautiful natural river. The waters stay a consistent 77 degrees throughout the year. In the summer it feels cool and refreshing. In the winter it feels like a hot tub, although you will only find the tourists enjoying these waters in the winter months. Parking is severely limited here, so if you are making the journey in a rental car be prepared to park in town and make the walk.

Really nice, relaxing experience. Clear and chill water, rich in magnesium. There is a restaurant as well. There are free changinging cabins and toilets. Dogs are not allowed to the beach, bathing them is explecitly forbidden as well. There are some, but limited parking spot right at the entrance. Parking is not free.

Montanejos Baths Review I recently visited the Montanejos hot springs in Spain, and what a disappointment it turned out to be. Five years ago, this was a perfect, serene spot with crystal-clear river water and free access that made it a hidden gem. Now, it's become a cash grab with declining quality. The river water was shockingly white and murky, as if contaminated with floating debris—unusual for a flowing river that should be pristine. I attached pictures to show just how dirty it looked; it's not the inviting blue we expect. Worse are the escalating costs. They've blocked all free roadside parking with pillars, forcing you into their paid lot at €1 per 30 minutes—€8 for just 4 hours! Then, add €4.50 entrance per person. For what? Neglected facilities and polluted water? Spain seems to be turning into a place where you pay stupid prices for basics, and the money goes nowhere. It's worsened every year since my last visit. Not worth the trip anymore—skip it and find a better free alternative. 1/5 stars.

I saw videos and photos of this place for months and I’m happy to say it DID NOT disappoint. So relaxing, wonderful water, a lot of beautiful dragonflies around the water, we had a great time. Paid Parking!!
Teal — Google review
We have mixed feelings 😂 We walked away saying we were happy we stopped because we like to see different places, but we were also happy we didn’t make a special trip to the area just to visit it because it definitely would’ve been more disappointing if that were the case. It is definitely beautiful and an experience to swim in the river. Water isn’t warm, that’s for sure. Now that it’s popular on the internet it’s full of people. €4,50 per adult and €3,50 per kid to enter (9:00-19:00)—I recommend parking not at this parking lot but further on and across a little bridge—this parking fills up fast and the other one is empty and has a beautiful walk through the valley. Parking is €1 per 30 minutes, 10€ for a full day.

Absolutely loved this, great for hiking, look for the Black caves, the thermal pools are so nice, the water towards the cave are cooler but the other side the water is warmer, a must see.

Fuente de los Baños is a stunning natural gem! The serene river, surrounded by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs, creates a breathtaking backdrop. The area appears well-maintained, with facilities like restrooms, making it a convenient spot for visitors. The variety of weather conditions captured in the photos—rainy and sunny—highlights its year-round beauty. Perfect for a peaceful getaway or a family adventure! PROTIP 1: YOU MUST PAY FOR PARKING, or you will receive a citation. I was 44€, no one told me anything about parking, as I mistakenly assumed parking was included in the park fee: 4.50€/adult, 3.50€ for children. PROTIP 2: there are life guards on duty who will enforce any rules you see at the kiosk where you pay. The rules only seem to apply between the yellow posts near a small bridge on the right and the yellow buoys on the left toward the canyon wall.

Amusement park
Aquarama Water Park in Benicassim is a popular destination for families, offering a wide range of thrilling rides, slides, and pools. It's especially loved by kids and teenagers for its water-based fun. Visitors staying at beach hotels can get tickets at the best prices, and there are special offers available through the park's website. The park features exciting slides that attract repeat visitors every year, though it's recommended to plan ahead as it can get crowded on sunny days.
Pretty cool park! You can bring your own food and drinks. There are peaceful pools and places to chill, or you can queue and try out the water slides. We went during a weekday in July, and the lines were already pretty long for some of the popular slides. We'd recommend the Black Hole slide on a double inner tube with a friend! Also, they have really wonderful staff. One of us lost a silver chain necklace on one of the slides, and a life guard found it and brought it to the lost and found. We were totally surprised and grateful, thank you!

It was a lovely experience and definitely worth the drive from Valencia. The facility is clean and well-managed, with staff everywhere, attentive to details across all attractions. I felt very safe throughout the visit. The entrance fee is reasonable given the level of entertainment and compared to similar venues in Europe. Food prices were also affordable for a tourist attraction, and while they allow visitors to bring their own food, as tourists we chose the restaurants and did not regret it. Parking is free—which is a nice surprise compared to many other European destinations! I especially appreciated the locker system, which was convenient and fairly priced at €7 per day. The only area I’d recommend improving is the hygiene of the shower facilities. Overall, highly recommended!

So many slides and attractions for kids and adults. Our 7 &4 year old has a blast . The staff is very friendly and you can bring your own snacks in which helps with picky eaters. The facilities were nice and the lifeguards were very attentive. The only reason it’s not a 5 is because for some reason the minimum height signs are at different heights so my little one was able to ride some rides but others not. We still had a blast and if you go BRING SUNSCREEN and reapply because the sun hits hard here. They do have covered seating which you can rent for like 5€ whole day which was a nice to have. Also have lockers for rent and showers for after .

ILHAM B — Google review
Aquarama is a very well-run and clean park, and the lifeguards do an excellent job of keeping everyone safe. However, it's a very expensive day out, made even more so by an extra €7 for a locker. ​Visiting in August means it's ridiculously busy, and the queue times are unreal. Even after spending the entire day there, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., we couldn't get on even half the rides. For example, we got in the queue for the Wow Slide right after the park opened and still had to wait for an hour. ​The food was also a letdown. We had to wait 30 minutes for the kids' 'pirate' menu, and it wasn't great. ​Overall, the park is a lovely place. If you're not bothered about doing all the rides and are happy to just enjoy the pools, then a visit in August is fine. Otherwise, I would recommend avoiding it during this time.
Alex N — Google review
Really nice experience, good variety of slides, although some have a substantial queue. The only thing, if you don't have acar and are getting there by train, there's no comfortable way to get to the park from the railway station. It's just 20 minutes walk, but you 'll have to walk by the side of the highway at some point. Otherwise lovely experience

Playa Morro de Gos

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Playa Morro de Gos is a popular holiday destination known for its golden sand, sun-bathing chairs, and umbrellas. The beach offers tranquility and stunning sunsets, making it perfect for a calm morning or afternoon. Visitors can also explore the old quarter of Oropesa del Mar with notable buildings and historical landmarks. The area features a variety of amenities including fruit stands, shops, souvenirs, and beach accessories.
A complete experience for everyone. Fruit stands, shops, souvenirs, beach accessories, seawall with two levels for strolling along the beach. Upper level perfect to view the beach, lower level providing easy access to all the shops and restaurants. Warning, during the day the lower level walkway doubles as a street for the locals who live adjacent to the walkway. Nightlife turns into full throttle around 8pm. Sidewalks become busy with activity as shoppers eagerly search for the exquisite replicas (dupes, fakes, counterfeits) from designer shoes to luxury handbags (Gucci, Prada, Tous, etc). Prices usually stay around 25 euros for most of the favorite items. Unlike the street sellers in Madrid, the street seller has no fear from the local authorities as it seems to be a symbiotic relationship, where tourists swarm the walkway purchase the dupes and then shop at the legitimate restaurants from pizza to fine dining. Interesting experience! Oh, the walkways are certainly tempting for a skater, although I only saw one actual skateboarder during my 4 visits to the walkway in August.

Jolly beach at the main part of Oropesa de Mar. A little bit narrow in some points but good quality of Sand. It is not comparable to the more virgin beaches you find when you move far away of Marina D'Or, but it is still a good option if you don't fancy driving and prefer to go straigh from the appartment to the beach.

We have always had very windy weather on this beach. In addition, it is very narrow. In the end, we always switched to Playa de la Concha, which we thought was better in everything. Even just before the start of the season, there were no showers, deckchairs, etc., but that will probably change with the arrival of the high season.

Parc Miner del Maestrat

Mine
Sights & Landmarks
Extremely interesting historical park, showing how the mine used to function. We were lucky and got Sandy as our guide, she spoke English as well as Spanish, she was able to explain some things that I did not understand in English also - all the literature around the park is in Spanish, valenciano and English. Most of the guides are local, as were the people that worked in the mines in the fifty's, work that was extremely hard and poorly paid ( though not as poor as the farm labour, that was the other option). So if you go and don't speak Spanish be sure to ask for Sandy!. Open all year round, shut Tuesdays though.

(Translated by Google) It is the second time I have visited the place. The truth is that it is very well organized and there is a little red train that took us from one mine to another and back. Nobody gets bored there, it's all very entertaining. We deaf people, since we could not hear what the guide explained, we read the explanations through our mobile phone using voice to text and we found it very interesting. In addition, next to that mining park there are stone tables and chairs where you can eat if you bring food from home, and there is also a bar that serves drinks. Everything great. (Original) Es la segunda vez que he visitado el lugar. La verdad es que está muy bien organizado y hay un trenecito rojo que nos llevaba de una mina a otra y de vuelta. Allí nadie se aburre, es todo muy entretenido. Nosotros las personas sordas, como no pudimos escuchar lo que explicaba la guía, leímos las explicaciones a través del móvil usando de voz a texto y nos pareció muy interesante. Además, al lado de ese parque minero se encuentran mesas de piedra y sillas donde se puede comer si se lleva comida de casa, y también hay un bar que sirve bebidas. Todo genial.

The staff's explanations are very good, the people are very friendly, and children and adults will enjoy it.

The rest of the tours are in Spanish so everyone can understand them. Upstairs, there are restrooms, water, a souvenir shop, and a bar.

Amazing Place. Very well maintained and full with historical value. The guide is very friendly and knows a lot about the place. Passing through the dungeons of the mine, you can barely imagine how it was, to work underground for 8 hours. Also the possibility to spend the night with the camper is amazing. Stunning views. Definitely a must go if you are in the region and definitely stay a night.

Castell de Morella

Mentioned on 
+5 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Perched atop the town of Morella, Castell de Morella is an ancient fortress with a rich history dating back to the 3rd millennium BC. The large Moorish castle, built in the 13th century on earlier Iberian and Roman foundations, offers panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and hills. Visitors can explore its steep roads, medieval streets, churches, and walls before hiking up to admire its well-preserved walls and terraces.
We walked up to the castle which was quite a trek, zigzagging up the hill. Once we got past the metal bridge after the modern bull ring I walked along to the left to see the statue of Ramon Cabrera, a guerilla leader in one of the Spanish succession wars and views over the ruined convent of St Francis. Access to the castle from there was blocked so I walked all the way back and carried on up the hill to the main gate. This had obviously been repaired recently but if an attacker even go that far I'd be impressed. The area before the summit contained the governors palace (now housing an exhibition of the town's history) and various admin, storage and living rooms and a prison. The 19th century improvements were very visible with extra walls and batteries due to the capabilities of modern canon, two of which were added to the castle in the 1950s. The top of hill was very windswept and had lots of rooms with information boards but in Spanish only. The views, as you can image, were just fantastic with the lower fortifications, the city walls, the medieval aquaduct and the wider Valencian countryside all layed out.

Wow, climbing up to Morella’s castle felt like stepping into a medieval saga! The steep, winding path had my heart racing, but those jaw-dropping views of the Valencian countryside? Totally worth every step. The fortress, perched at 1,073 meters, is a time capsule did you know it was first built by the Moors in the 900s on Roman ruins? For just €2, you get to explore its ancient walls and towers. Wear comfy shoes, bring a water bottle, and don’t skip the tiny fossil jewelry shop at the exit those pieces glow in the sun! Perfect for history buffs and adventurers alike.

Absolutely amazing place! The Castelo de Morela is stunning — the views from the top are breathtaking, and you can really feel the history in every corner. There’s plenty of interesting information about what happened here during medieval times, which makes the visit even more fascinating. The castle is very well maintained, and it’s easy to imagine what life might have been like centuries ago. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

Castell de Morella is a must if you’re chasing history with jaw-dropping views. This ancient fortress, perched on a rocky hill, feels like stepping into a medieval saga. Pro tip: visit early morning when it opens at 11 AM to skip any queues—takes about 5-10 minutes max. Entry is just €5, a steal for the climb to Plaza de Armas, where you’ll snap epic photos of Morella’s red rooftops and the Els Ports mountains. Wear comfy shoes for the steep paths, and don’t miss the Convent de Sant Francesc entrance it’s the only way in

It's a little town on the hill, with an ancient church building, though small it's very unique worth to explore even though you may have seen many. The castle on the top is a ruine, ancient but nothing much to see. The streets in the middle of the hill are just like any other Spanish town.

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Fortress
Castell de Peníscola is a massive medieval fortress located on the seafront, once serving as a papal seat. The castle offers tours and hosts cultural events. Visitors can enjoy unparalleled views of the sea and the castle from modern, well-equipped rooms with spacious terraces. The surrounding old town features stunning white-washed houses, stone steps, narrow alleyways, and hidden viewpoints.
Peñíscola Castle is an incredible place to visit—rich in history and full of charm. If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you’ll love knowing that parts of the series were filmed here, and walking through the same locations feels surreal. The castle itself is beautiful, well-preserved, and offers breathtaking views of the coastline and the surrounding town. It’s a perfect blend of history and scenery. The area around the castle is just as enjoyable, with lots of small shops to pick up souvenirs and plenty of restaurants with stunning views, making it a great spot to enjoy lunch or dinner after exploring. The beach is also fantastic—clean, lively, and just steps away from the old town. Altogether, Peñíscola offers a perfect mix of culture, food, and relaxation.

Views for days. You can enjoy both the castle and the garden for a moderate price of 5 euro / adult. Lots to visit and explore. Perfect gateway for a cloudy day so you can enjoy the views without breaking a sweat. l

Peniscola Spain is the beautiful setting for this Castle jewel. It costs 5 euro to tour the Castle and Garden, each. Shoes or sandals with good traction will serve you well as the walk up to the Castle is on very smooth and worn stone steps, walk ways and streets, and dont forget you still have the walk down. This castle is amazing to see in person and has a long and interesting past. Must Visit!

Landmark & Historical Castle This is the Spanish Mont Saint Michel, it is really nice to see and I believe unique in Spain. This Castle sits on the see and looks great from afar. In the town itself you can see a few narrow streets a few restaurants. We enjoyed wandering around here, and can only highly recommend visiting!

Great old Castillo. Knights Template etc. interesting old town with good photo opportunities. €3.50 entrance to the castle for young and concessions such as over 60, a bit upset they didn't query our age.,€5 for normal entry. Enjoyable couple of hours. Large and steep steps in places. Well worth the visit.

Amazing views to the sea, the pennisula, and the local beaches! The view is the best part of the experience, although, the castle does have a rich history, esp.the story of Pope Luna, and the castle garden was used in the shooting of A Game of Thrones. Sun block is recommended. ☀️🇪🇸🌅

Estàtua de Benet XIII

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Sculpture
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
The Estàtua de Benet XIII (Papa Lluna) is a beautiful statue located near the illuminated castle, creating a picturesque setting. The statue of Benedict XIII, also known as Papa Luna, has become a popular spot for taking selfies. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk to the castle through the old town of Peniscola, navigating narrow and sometimes steep streets and stairs.
Inaugurated in 2007, this Bronze statue represents absolutely nothing of the actual physical appearance of Papa Luna: in reality, he was a small, extremely thin man dedicated to the world of academia, more along the lines of a Mr. Barnes from the Simpsons rather than the imposing myth that has been created. Some argument can be made that the statue represent his strong character and beliefs, but physically, zero in common with the statue.
Guyver I — Google review
The statue of Pope Benedict XIII, or Papa Luna, in Peñíscola stands as a reminder of one of the most controversial figures in papal history. Once a powerful leader during the Great Western Schism, Benedict XIII made Castell de Peníscola his refuge, refusing to renounce his claim to the papacy even in exile. His legacy is one of resilience and defiance, and this statue, overlooking the sea, captures his unwavering determination. Standing before it, you can almost feel the weight of history—the echoes of a time when the fate of the Church was as stormy as the Mediterranean waves behind him.

(Translated by Google) Impressive statue of Benedict XIII, better known as Papa Luna. Would he have thought that he would one day become a point of interest for selfies?? So people still look online (at least sometimes!!) to see who they took a selfie with. However, you should also be able to walk well on the circular route to the castle through the old town of Peniscola. It goes through narrow, sometimes steep streets and stairs up to the castle. (Original) Beeindruckende Statue von Benedikt XIII., besser bekannt als Papa Luna. Ob er gedacht hätte, das er mal ein Point of Interest für Selfis wird ?? So wird (jedenfalls manchmal !!) noch im Internet nachgeschaut, mit wem man da ein Selfi gemacht hat. Man sollte auf dem Rundweg zur Burg durch die Altstadt von Peniscola allerdings auch gut zu Fuß sein. Es geht durch enge, teilweise steile Gassen und Treppen bis hoch zur Burg.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and imposing sculpture. Its location is imposing and I imagine it saying as it looks: Here I am guarding my castle and final resting place. It is worth seeing it up close due to its large size. It's very pretty. (Original) Bonita e imponente escultura. Su ubicación impone y la imagino diciendo mientras mira: Aquí estoy vigilando mi castillo y última morada. Impone verla de cerca por su gran tamaño. Es muy bonita.

(Translated by Google) Peñiscola Castle is poorly signposted; you can't move because the access stairs are overrun by restaurants on both sides. The buses to get there went all the way to the top because they ran infrequently and there were only a few buses. I discovered the House of Shells the next day because it wasn't signposted, and I didn't see this statue in the end. (Original) El castillo de Peñiscola mal señalizado , no se puede uno mover porque las escaleras de acceso estan invadidas por los restaurantes a ambos lados.Los autobuses para ir iban hasta arriba porque pasaban con poca frecuencia y pocos buses.

Good zoo with parrots, flamingo, kangaroo, capybara, ocelot, lemurs and giant turtles. Has an open space where you can feed and touch birds and turtles. Very good shady place for kids' entertainment, has a lot of obstacle courses. Parking is free, there are some snacks and a small cafe on the territory. Great attraction and fun. Very recommended for visiting with the kids.

Second visit in 3 years. Really nice place to spend time with various animals but beware the birds will sit in you and as I experienced this time pooped down my back and in my sons arm but laugh I certainly did. There’s a place to grab a drink and weekends they put in a show. The kangaroos are very nice along with the massive ginney pig looking animal and my kids smoothed them & they just loved there’s bellies being tickled.
A W — Google review
Even it's 25 year old, the park is fantastic and you are allowed inside with most of the animals. Some parts are a little work, but they try to keep up and are even constructing new areas for more animals. Do expect the birds to poob on you, if you let them sit. They were all well behaved and did not bite. So much fun and they all seem to be in good condition. Super great agility tracks for children from 8-15.

I love this place this was our second visit on our travels round Spain . My passion is birds & to see these beautiful birds so well cared for and looked after by such lovely staff is a joy. The place is beautiful and so much for kids to do as well. Being able to interact with the birds and feed them made my day. I have so many pictures & videos thus is a memory I will treasure always & we will return again & again when we come back to Spain I only wish we had a place like this in the uk . Thank you to all the amazing staff for caring so much for all the birds and animals. This place is a must see on your visit to the area you won’t regret it 😄😄😄🥰

A great day out for young and old. When you arrive and purchase your tickets you are given lettuce leaves to feed the tortoises. In the parrot part they come and sit on you for sunflower seeds and you can get close to the capybaras. The animals look well cared for and the park is open 11am until 3pm.

Beautiful beach for sunset!!!!! Watch from the bay side for a beautiful view of the sun setting behind the mountain. Bring a blanket and picnic, or there’s a small bar in the summer. Parking was abundant and free. It’s probably lovely in the day too with options to be at the bay or sea.

Sights & Landmarks
Tortosa Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Saint Maria, is a must-visit in Tortosa. The exterior is particularly impressive with its unique Catalan Gothic architecture and Baroque facade. Construction began in 1347 and was completed in 1757, resulting in a blend of two different architectural styles. While the interior ambiance is amazing, visitors should check for prayer times as tourists are not allowed during these times.
What an amazing find in a town i did not even know of until we visited. The cathedral is huge and worthy of a large city such as Madrid or Granada. For only €5 you get entrance to a huge number of things in addition to the massive and ornate cathedral. Well worth a visit, as is a wander around the rest of this lovely town by the river.

The Castell de Miravet is a magnificent Romanesque fortress reconstructed by the Knights Templar and boasts breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside. Access to this spectacular castle can be achieved via a steep and winding road, or alternatively through a well-marked path within the village. Large vehicles such as motorhomes can utilise designated parking areas located nearby. The castle offers impressive panoramic views from its grounds for an entry fee of 5 (or 3 at reduced rates).
Only ruins remaining but it provide a spectacular view of the surrounding areas & river Ebro! It's located on top of a mountain so more recommended to drive, unless you're into hiking - there's both main road and a dirt path from the village below to the castle You can walk in and buy ticket, no need prior reservation
Vince D — Google review
If visiting Miravet definitely worthwhile the visit. Most of it is in ruins but still a interesting visit and definitely worth the € 5,- entrance. The walk up is fantastic and very scenic but heavy uphill if one not in good shape or difficulties in walking.
Lars I — Google review
Wonderful views, odd parking guide. There was a guy in the middle of the road denying access with a car saying it's only 12 mins walk (is not). It's a steep hike to the top and there is quite a big parking place next to the castle anyway. We returned later and went with a car which was the better choice to be able to enjoy the castle too. The castle is under renovations so entrance was only 3 euros because not all places were open.
Tuija T — Google review
Wow, Miravet Castle is like stepping into a medieval saga perched above the Ebro River! The views from the ramparts are absolutely jaw-dropping think endless rolling hills and the river winding like a silver ribbon below. I paid €5 for the ticket (totally worth it, students get it for €2!), and the climb up the tribute tower’s spiral staircase had my heart racing not just from the effort but those epic panoramas at the top. Insider tip: wear comfy shoes, the cobblestone path from the village is steep and slippery in spots. Oh, and did you know this Templar fortress was once a Moorish stronghold before the Knights transformed it in the 12th century? Save time for the pottery shops in Miravet’s old town they’re a hidden gem!

I loved this town! We drove to the castle, which was nice but not as nice as others in the area. But, the views were incredible! I loved the river going through the town. Our friends drove the car back down, and I went took the easy walking path through the trees. I wouldn't have wanted to walk up it, but down was easy. It empties into the town, and walked down through small streets to the river. The cute mouse house had to be noted! I hear you can kayak in the river but the current looked VERY strong, so I'm not sure it's something I'm able to do. People were swimming close to the shore though. There's a small cafe where you can eat, too. Certainly come check it out!
Shannon K — Google review
Highly ridiculous. I knew that prices had risen due to inflation, but the price to enter this castle is a crime. If you are a history lover and you like to see empty castles with only stone, this is an ideal place for you. I expected there to be materials typical of the century in which construction began. Honestly, in my opinion, it's not worth it. The views are not that pretty (although I have to say that when I took the view the day was cloudy). It only took us 20 minutes to see the entire castle. The truth is, I don't understand the people who recommend visiting this place, if you know someone who recommends it, tell them that I pay a visit to the eye doctor, they really need it. In my opinion, the town looks like the set of a low-budget zombie movie. thank you very much 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼❤️

Not a bad castle/ruin but to pay 5 eur and can't even go to the top of the castle because it was closed, is too much. In general for 10 min you are done, so walking up the hill takes more time than to view the castle...There is WC for free and the staff was polite and English speaking. You can also go by car

The Platja del Torn is a nudist beach located in a protected natural area, just minutes away from LHospital de LInfant. It's got a serene atmosphere and idyllic surroundings, perfect for relaxing without the hustle and bustle of big cities. The sand is dark and the waters are clear and warm, making it one of Europe's biggest naturist beaches. There's also plenty of deep green pine trees to enjoy as well as golden sand beaches.
I've never seen a more breathtaking beach. The combination of towering mountains and the endless ocean creates an unforgettable landscape. The water is invitingly cold after a hot sunbath and perfect for a refreshing swim. The sand is soft and clean, making it ideal for laying out a towel. We felt very comfortable as nature and naturist lovers. I can't wait to return!

In my opinion only, the best beach i have been to in Spain. So much room for everyone, naturist or otherwise, but leave the dogs at home please.

Nice large and wide beach. Quite a steep and narrow road to reach the parking. Lots of stones, sand on the approach to the water and then stones and sand again. Quiet during weekdays but was very busy on Sunday afternoon. Families gathered closer to the beach entrance, in the middle of the beach there were more single men and men couples and then families and couples again towards the other end close to the camping.
Radoslaw M — Google review
One of the finest beaches in mainland Spain, which also happens to be naturist. So no swimsuits necessary. Directly behind the northern end lies the popular naturist resort of El Templo del Sol. The beach attracts large numbers of sunseekers, but there is space enough: a short stroll will be rewarded with a quiet spot for relaxing in solitude.

Place to go for live music. But service is slow and very poor. Not much ecperienced people. Long waiting time as they don't work the modern way. The bar itself is very small so they offer not much to eat. This could be much better with an easy snack menu. But I do understand that the bar service has the first priority to improve. As I was the owner I would create an outside possibility when crowdy. Just to pick up a beer, wine or vermouth quick, so he can sell a lot more drinks at live events.

Winery
Food & Drink
Devinssi Winery is a small and authentic winery located in the Priorat region of Spain. The winery offers an amazing tour with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide named Jordi, who makes the experience lively and entertaining for visitors. During the tour, guests have the opportunity to taste six different wines, all of which are delicious and well-crafted. In addition to providing a great tasting experience, Devinssi Winery also offers shipping options to customers in the United States.
Our sunset wine tasting with Jordi was a beautiful experience! He collected us (including our dog) from the town and drove us to a picnic table set on a hillside in the middle of the vines, with stunning views of the vineyards around. The wines were delicious, varied and each with its own story. Jordi was able to point to the places where the grapes had grown. He was excellent company, and has a level of English better than a native! I would fully recommend this tour and hope to go back one day!
Lucy K — Google review
Jordi and the Divinssi team are true professionals in every sense of the word. Our tour in early November was a real treat! We had the luxury of touring the winery and the fields, with a tasting in the fields. Jordi retrieved us from town and drove us out to the vineyard in his vehicle. We talked and laughed our whole way to the vines. Once in the vineyards he pointed out the different varieties that had gone into each of the four wines we tasted. Our tasting included tasty items from the local villages (incl. ibérico ham, fuet sausage, 2 local cheeses, olives, bread, and the most amazing almonds we have ever eaten). If you are reading this review to the end, then you need to go discover the Priorat wines - and speak with Jordi!

From moment one, Jordi makes you feel welcome. The ‘tasting room’ is the best one yet…..the wines are exclusive and yummy. The view is outstanding. This is truly a unique experience. If Jordi is available (most months of the year), wear sensible shoes & show up! Enjoy.

A Magical Wine Tasting Experience at Sunset We visited with a group of 18 and had an unforgettable evening. The setting was stunning — overlooking the vineyard at sunset — and the wines were excellent. Jordy was a great host: friendly, informative, and passionate. A perfect mix of nature, wine, and warm hospitality!

We had an amazing tour with Jordi. All was taken care of and the wines and nibbles tasted great. We learned a lot, he really knows how to make it a great experience adjusted to what you know so far about wines. Very recommended!

Our visit to Devinssi Winery was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived at the Pi dels Llops in Gratallops, we were greeted warmly by Jordi, who made us feel right at home. The experience began with a scenic and informative journey through the beautiful vineyards, where Jordi expertly guided us in his van. As we drove through the picturesque landscape, he shared fascinating details about the origins and age of the vines, as well as the unique characteristics of the different plots. It was a truly enriching experience that deepened our appreciation for the winemaking process. After our vineyard tour, we returned to Gratallops to the wine house for the much-anticipated tasting. The food plate, which consisted of locally produced delicacies, was simply delicious and complemented the wines perfectly. We had the pleasure of tasting four wines in total: three outstanding reds—Nas de les Valls, Il Lia, and Rocapoll—and a refreshing mineral white, Diviño. Each wine was unique and showcased the distinct terroir of the region. The visit concluded with a tour of the cellar, where the wines are aged and bottled. We left with some of our favorite wines in hand, feeling grateful for such a memorable experience. Thank you, Jordi, for an unforgettable day!

My daughter and I had the most fabulous day and evening with the Cellar Devinssi! We started out with a tour of their vineyard and cellar. We continued our visit with a wonderful tasting of their fabulous wines! Earlier we had contacted Jordi about staying at their newly finished apartment for the evening and it was wonderful! Everything was clean, great bed, bathroom, and easy walk to a great dinner that evening. We had a great stay and would love to return! If you are looking to stay in the area, this was a magical day and stay that a highly recommend !!

My wife and I visited in June and Jordi took us up for a sunset wine tasting with appetizers. Beautiful views and Jordi highlighted his wines, tasting notes and the history of the local vines. Highly recommend!!

Cartoixa d'Escaladei

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Cartoixa d'Escaladei is a historic Carthusian monastery founded in 1194, now transformed into a museum complex featuring cloisters, gardens, and churches. Nestled beneath the Monsant mountain range, the location offers breathtaking views. Despite ongoing reconstruction efforts that have sparked some debate, it remains an intriguing destination for delving into the region's cultural and wine-making heritage.
Definitely worth a visit. The grounds are beautiful and the mountains on the background are jaw dropping. I would recommend to have lunch at Rebost de la Cartoixa next door afterwards.

Beautiful, peaceful place, very much worth the 5 EUR entry ticket. There is also ample parking space.

What an amazing place to visit. Rich in history and not well known. The ruins are beautifully preserved. A lot of restoration work is carried out. Entry fee is only 5 euros. The charterhouse was founded in 1194 and Escaladei was the first Carthusian Monastery on the peninsula. I really loved the arch at the entrance, it’s gorgeous. The square with the fountain in the middle is also stunning. If you in the area you should not miss it.

The place is quite far away from anywhere and you must access it through curly mountain roads, yet worth it and recommended if you combine the visit with a wine tasting and lunch in the Scala Dei cellars!

So this place is very out of the way, great if you want to visit somewhere less touristic. Entry fee is €5. The good: The restored cloister, they did a good job on it, it looks well, although parts of it were boarded up which didn't look good. The monk's cell, they restored one of them so you can get an idea of how they lived, you could see the living areas and a small cloister with plants, it was really quiet and I liked imagining how they lived. The bad: A lack of history, there are some information panels but I would have liked some more historical background. It looks a bit like a building site, I wish there were more open spaces open to the public instead of wired fences. Some of the buildings were renovated a bit, basically just a roof, they seemed very bare on the inside, no info, furniture or details. I recommend this place if you are in the area and looking for something to do

We visited Cartoixa d'Escaladei in late January 2023. We were surprised to find tour buses as we'd thought we were the only visitors in the region. There were about hundred or so tourists there. The ruins were much more extensive than I’d realized, and I hadn’t expected the renovation work that was in progress. They had restored some monk cells to give a sense of the monk’s everyday life: cloistered, i.e. no talking. They each had a small garden in which to grow flowers. I liked the desks with a view and the amazing history.

You need a car to get here. During our visit, theres a restoration going on. It was less touristy, so we could really enjoy the place. Hope to come back here again once everything is restored and no construction going on. The visit is still worth it.

Worth the visit- These old ruins were very cool. The drive up was just magical and serene. It’s about €3.50 to enter and you are free to walk around, check it out and take photos. There are informative panels all over explaining what happened to this monastery and showing you where things used to be. Definitely a cool experience and would highly suggest it!
