$$$$affordable
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.

Terra Natura

Mentioned on

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Theme park
Terra Natura is a remarkable zoo that features elephants, sea lions, and pony rides. Additionally, it has a seasonal water park with various pools and slides. This zoo is well-maintained as all the enclosures are in excellent condition which makes it feel like the animals are within reach. The walk-through aviary is an amazing experience, with mist sprays that make it feel unique. It's both compact and spacious simultaneously making it an ideal place for children to visit.
Clean, quiet (probably due to the time of year). Easily the best zoo we've been to, even if there were a few staple animals missing (no giraffes??). On site park and food vendors were decent and the gift shop was well stocked and quite reasonably priced. Would definitely go again if in the area.
Dominic S — Google review
It's great for kids. Tickets are expensive, but worth it. There's also a water park nearby where you can buy a ticket and have fun all day. I recommend visiting the zoo to everyone; we walked through it in 1.5 hours. the only thing that caught my attention was that the elephants seemed to be hungry or wanted to cool off.
Natusia — Google review
Fantastic day spent at Terra Natura. Only a couple minute drive from Benidorm city centre. The park is nicely played out, and the enclosures are a good size. Highly recommend attending one of the bird shows. The animals seem well looked after and the staff were great. A lovely day out that won’t break the bank!
Charlie N — Google review
Terra Natura is a really great day out. Lots of animals to see and get pretty close to (the rhinos were my personal favourite). Some of the animals seemed to be in quite small enclosures and there were parts that needed some TLC but overall we were impressed during our visit.
Charlotte W — Google review
Terra Natura Benidorm is a gem for families and animal lovers! This zoo-themed park is split into vibrant zones—America, Asia, and Europe—making it feel like a mini world tour. With over 1,500 animals, including elephants, tigers, and colorful birds, there’s so much to see. The highlight for us was the night safari—what a unique experience! Feeding elephants and deer under the stars felt magical, and the guides were super friendly and knowledgeable. The park is clean, with plenty of shade and plants, perfect for hot days. However, some enclosures seemed a bit small, which might bother animal welfare enthusiasts. Bring your own food to save a bit, as dining options are pricey. Also, the park is stroller-friendly, and the staff’s inclusivity (like using sign language for our deaf friend) was heartwarming. Highly recommend for a fun, educational day out—just check the schedule for shows and feeding times to plan your visit
Arthur V — Google review
A variety of animals and creatures from elephants to tigers to snakes to birds. Alot of walking to do but there are arrows on the floor to follow so that you can see all of them. They have a map and app you can download to.also follow. It wasn't that busy when we went. Thye have picnic areas to eat and also shops selling burgers chips, salads, ice lollies and slushies. The best option to get there and back is by taxi and there is a taxi stand outside cost me 7.50 euros to head back to our hotel at Magic Cristal. The area is secluded and qe thought we could get the bus L1 which was showing on google maps but that was not the case. Toilets were clean. I got my tickets on Get Your Guide £78.35for 2 adults and 1 child. Accessible for those in wheelchairs as they have alot of ramps around also. In the amphitheatre they have shows of birds.
Mel — Google review
Only seen the zoo, not the waterpark. You can do the zoo in a few hours, the tickets for the zoo aren’t cheap. They want extra for the bird show, and the price for the show isn’t low. Animals that were there are beautiful and look taken care off. Except for maybe the bugs I do think someone should be there for the screaming children and the tapping of the glass.
Pascal — Google review
Extremely run down, animals are not healthy or happy. The poor elephants are so depressed. All the animals are in really small enclosures especially the jaguars. I’ve watched the elephants for the past 4 days and we’re staying at magic Natura and 2 of them do nothing but sway constantly. I’ve just watched 1 elephant in the same position swaying none stop for over 2 hours, was there when I arrived and when I left, i suspect it’s still doing the same thing, It never moved from the spot, just rocking 💔 the rhinos show signs of depression too doing the same thing, this is a really run down zoo and the poor animals need saving!

Fonts d'Algar

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Fonts de l'Algar is a charming nature reserve located just 3km from the center of Callosa den Sarria. It boasts a picturesque river route with waterfalls and springs emerging from the mountains. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk, swim in natural pools, and relax in the picnic area. The entry fee is reasonable and well worth it for the stunning views and clear blue waterfalls.
Absolutely beautiful! Swimming shoes/crocs are a must. Plenty of parking on the roads surrounding the waterfalls. We got sucked into the very first one we saw charging more so we carried on up the hill and there’s a great one at the top for €3 with a bar and picnic area. My youngest loved the jump off platform and diving into the different pools situated down the beautiful mountain. We spent roughly 3 hours there and that was plenty of time to enjoy it all. Very busy at time changeover but soon calmed down.
Jen M — Google review
We bought the tickets online in advance. We went early in the morning at 9. At that time, there were still very few people, so we had the waterfall all to ourselves. As we were leaving, more people were just arriving. It was a truly wonderful experience, the water was a pleasant 18 degrees. By the waterfalls, there is also a restaurant for refreshments and water. We definitely recommend visiting this beautiful place. 🌊🩵

Even visiting here October 1st. The weather was amazing, this place is beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend this place to familys, couples.. you will not be disappointed. The water is lovely and fresh and there are deep pools where you can dive down, even Opening Your eyes under the water is not a problem here. You will not be disappointed! There are multiple car parks approaching the vicinity. There are also restaurants on site with their own car park which will allow you to leave your car there whilst visiting the waterfalls if you are a customer. Other surrounding car parks approaching the waterfall are around $5, but you'll be walking for about 3 to 5 minutes. Worth it !

Excellent place to visit. Free parking at the tourist building. €8 entry. Take your swimwear & waterproof shoes. You'll not regret it. It did start to get busy around lunchtime. There is a restaurant at the entrance.
Kev D — Google review
A wonderful and peaceful spot to enjoy nature! Visiting Fonts d’Alger in November was a highlight, quiet, tranquil, and with hardly anyone else around, it was perfect for wandering along the scenic waterfalls and getting into the water. Being able to stand under the falls in such a natural setting was amazing. Nearby parking was just €5 for the day, €6 per adult entrance fee, with toilets and plenty of picnic spots, so we could relax and enjoy our own lunch in the fresh air. All the paths and facilities were clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended for a relaxing day out!
Vince D — Google review
Beautiful place. if you go upstream it's very similar to the game "call of the jungle" with incredible adventures. I highly recommend it. / Parking around there 5-6 EUR, entrance 8 EUR for adult.
Vitaly S — Google review
This is a lovely cheap day out. Lots of lovely natural pools to swim in and stunning waterfalls. You have to park about a 10 minute walk away and it's a bit of an incline so not great for disabled or older folk who aren't fit. There are lots of steps when you are there too so do bear that in mind.
Dawn A — Google review
Parking situation is horrible but there’s a lot down the street for 5 euro and then a short uphill walk to the park. If you are getting something at the restaurant, free parking included. The falls are a must see! Wear a bathing suit and bring a towel and change of clothes… jump in the water, it’s lovely!

The Via Verda de Dénia offers a delightful escape into nature, tracing the path of an old railway line that once connected Denia to Gandia. This scenic route spans approximately 6.5 kilometers and is perfect for walkers, cyclists, and those with mobility challenges. As you stroll or cycle along this well-maintained greenway, you'll be surrounded by lush orange groves and almond trees while enjoying stunning views of the Montgo Natural Park and Sierra Segaria in the distance.
Between 5-6km. Excellent route for cycling. Last km towards Setla is unpaved, but not bad. Beautiful countyside landscapes and farms. Enjoyable for an easy family cycling adventure.

Nice historical route from outskirts of Denia near football Stadium to next village at El Vergel,about 6.5 kms. The route is along an abandoned railway line which originated from the early 1900's. It's a level easy walk there and back passing pleasant countryside including lots of orange groves and almond trees as well as rest areas ,viewpoints and work out points. You also pass a few redundant railway Stations. It follows too a section of the Camino de Santiago. I also saw lots of cyclists, dog walkers, joggers, runners & even a young girl on a pony so it's suitable for every including the mobility impaired. The views of the mountains are nice including Marina Alta Montgó Hill and Sierra Segaria. The round trip took me 3 hours and makes a pleasant addition to the local tourist offer.

It's a shopping centre with plenty of parking, shops and a food court. It's not as big as I expected it to be, but it's good for a stop over to eat and buy a few bits and bobs. Access could be improved a lot and the signage both inside and out, for example on how to get there from the main roads is absolutely horrendous 🚗🚧⛔ and must be improved, because the road system there is very complicated for visitors who don't know the area. If you miss the turning because there are no signs, you have to drive a long way to be able to turn back. Improve access signage and you'll get more visitors 😉

Having been on a regular basis to La Marina, just outside Benidorm. We for the first time have discovered a much better shopping centre which has far more designer shops.

We will definitely be visiting again in the near future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great spot to learn a little more about Las Fallas and its history in Gandia. The staff is friendly and our girls enjoyed learning more about the falleras and their dresses. The collection of the “pardoned” ninots is housed here with an audio guide that explains the history, building methods and traditions. It is a smaller museum focused on local fallas history that is a fairly quick and enjoyable visit.
James L — Google review
Small museum dedicated to the "Fallas" in Gandia showing some of the figures saved at the end of the festival, the traditional costumes and the history including a digital recreation of the "mascletà" fireworks. The woman on the ticket desk also acted as a guide to some of the exhibits and couldn't have been more enthusiastic about something she clearly loves. Again, small, but definitely recommend.

Covetes dels Moros

Historical landmark
Nature & Parks
Cliff face carved with ancient rectangular windows & chambers thought to be Berber warehouses.
Brilliant and unusual fun. Around 50 windows cut straight into the rock face which were used for centuries as stores or tombs, but more recently have joined together as a kind of 3D labyrinth. You have to haul yourself through holes in the walls, floor and ceiling to explore and find your way out. The steps are narrow metal grates leading to the first window so you need a head for heights, and the journey through the caves is quite narrow and physical so you need a reasonable level of strength and fitness. You have to leave bags and coats at the start; you'll need both hands and practical clothes and shoes. You will get a bit dusty. We saw a couple of small (7-8 years) children - they needed a leg up through the ceiling holes but were fine otherwise.

No signs,no roads. We spent more than half an hour inside and around the village and couldn't find a trace. Google location is wrong. Takes you to a dead-end road, and the Tripomatic location takes you in an area of summer houses. We gave up. One of the most visitor's unfriendly places.

Castell de Xàtiva

Mentioned on 
+2 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Perched on a hill, Castell de Xàtiva boasts a rich history dating back to Roman, Islamic, and Christian eras. The castle offers breathtaking panoramic views and is well worth the visit. Accessible by foot or bus, the site features archaeological remains and well-marked attractions. The town's tranquility adds to its charm, while ticket prices are reasonable. Hiking up the old route provides an enriching experience with various historical landmarks along the way.
Nestled atop a strategic hill overlooking the charming city of Xàtiva, the Castell de Xàtiva stands as a majestic testament to centuries of history, a fact repeatedly lauded by visitors in their reviews. The sheer historical significance of this site, having witnessed the passage of Roman, Islamic, and Christian civilizations, deeply resonates with those who explore its ancient walls. Many reviewers enthusiastically point out the breathtaking panoramic vistas that unfold from the castle ramparts, offering sweeping views of the sprawling urban landscape below and the picturesque surrounding countryside. This visual reward is frequently cited as more than compensating for the journey to the summit, whether undertaken by car, the convenient tourist train, or even a more challenging but rewarding walk through the historic pathways. The general consensus is that the modest entrance fee represents excellent value for the rich historical and visual experience on offer. Visitors consistently praise the well-maintained state of the castle and the informative signage provided in multiple languages, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the site's multifaceted past. The distinct character of the castle's two main sections, the older Castell Menor and the later Castell Major, provides a diverse exploration experience, each offering unique perspectives and architectural nuances. Several reviewers specifically mention the enchanting sight of the castle illuminated against the night sky, adding another layer of allure to this historical gem. The ascent from the town itself is often described as an interesting prelude to the main attraction, with opportunities to observe the remnants of old churches and other historical structures along the way. The castle's intriguing history as a former prison, coupled with its connections to prominent historical figures such as the infamous Borgia family, further enriches the visitor experience. Adding to the convenience and enjoyment, the presence of a cafeteria at the castle allows visitors to relax and savor refreshments while soaking in the stunning scenery. While some reviews mention the limited parking at the summit and the uphill walk as potential considerations, the overwhelming sentiment remains that the Castell de Xàtiva is an unmissable destination, offering a captivating blend of history, breathtaking views, and a tangible connection to the past.

Must visit place. One of the most stunning castles. The parking on the top is about 20-30 spots and half empty at Friday 1pm. Plan at least 1 hour.
Nik — Google review
The castle of Xàtiva is a beautiful castle, situated on a steep ridge above the town. Take the car or a bus, it is quite a steep climb! The castle has a few small exhibits, set up beautifully and with care. The smaller part of the castle to the left has some beautiful views and the walls are mostly intact. The larger part is a bit of a walk, but has a moorish fountain, some moorish Brick work and the remnants of a large castle. It also has a commanding view of the surroundings. Definitely worth a visit!
Anneke G — Google review
Caught the train from Valencia, about an hour and then we took the direct route as per Apple Maps rather than the Longer easier route on google maps. Not too bad a climb although some of the steps are quite high. There are drinks machines just inside the castle gate and you can refill with water at nearby drinking fountain. The castle itself is very cool, would have been a bit easier to navigate the displays inside the castle if there had been more English but we managed. Fantastic views across the valley from the top and we took some great photos of the castle itself. Took the slow windy way down and had lunch in town before getting the train back to Valencia. Very pleasant day out.

The best place to hang out with family and return to medieval times and history. Expect a minimum of 2 hours. Don't forget to take a map at the ticket desk and water. The temperature inside the castle is much higher than outside because of the walls. The outstanding view of the town - looks like a mosaic.

Travelled from Valencia by train to Xativa, once your at station you can walk 40 mins to castle or take taxi for 10 euros. The castle it self very beautiful and it is a must visit. Stunning views and so much history
Rabab A — Google review
Always memorable with new discoveries. This was my 5th visit. This place never loses it’s Wow factor for me. I always take family and friends to explore the castle and local environs. None of my visitors have been disappointed and my two young nieces 8 and 5 were absolutely enthralled. It is all uphill but worth the energy to get to the top. Best to get a taxi in Xativa to the drop off point, explore then walk down. Not for the feint hearted… Spectacular vistas, many viewing points. It has never felt crowded… In Summary Xàtiva Castle is a visually dominant testament to Mediterranean history—a blend of ancient origins, medieval sieges, royal politics, and military ambition—wrapped in scenic beauty. Visiting it offers an immersive journey through millennia of Iberian identity and power. Architecture & Features • Castell Menor: • Built atop Iberian/Roman foundations; includes Hannibal’s Gate, Moorish-era cisterns, Gothic arches, and ruins like Queen Himilce’s viewpoint . • Castell Major: • Dominant medieval fort with massive walls, multiple gates such as Porta Ferrissa and Porta dels Socors, a Gothic chapel (Santa María) from 1431, and historic prison cells for such figures as Jaume d’Urgell and Borgia nobles. Why It Matters • Strategic & cultural crossroads: From antiquity through the medieval and early modern eras, it witnessed struggles across multiple civilisations. • Links to major events: From Hannibal’s legendary campaigns to the Moorish-to-Christian transition and the tumult of the Spanish Succession. • Architectural tapestry: A layered site featuring Iberian, Roman, Moorish, Gothic, and 20th‑century neo‑Gothic elements .

Castell de Cullera

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
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!

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

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
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.

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.

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Oceanogràfic is a major attraction located within the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain. It is Europe's largest marine park, featuring over 20,000 creatures from 650 different species. The aquarium showcases marine life from various ecosystems around the world, offering visitors an immersive experience through its diverse exhibits.
This place is awesome, so much things to see. I recommend take some warm clothes, as in arctic area is 17C or even colder so wearing some a jacket is a must, there are plenty of food to try, also there are 3 shows daily with dolphins, apx 20minut each, so check the time for the show. Most of the places has outer and inner parts so it is great to check the outer parts and then take elevator or stairs and check what's under the ground. Overall me and my 4yo toddler has enjoyed the the 3.5 hour long tour. It is definitely worth a try. P.S. sometimes, especially on holidays or weekends the place is crowded and the queue for the ticket is huge, so I recommend to buy tickets online as there is no difference.
Ruben T — Google review
Nice place, huge effort from the team. Great selection of animals etc. Awesome aquariums. The one from Tenerife is the leader, in my opinion. The food inside quality should be improved. The value for money is disappointing. Dishes hot in the exterior and almost frozen in the middle. The security staff should help the clients; in our case, they had long personal discussions, ignoring the visitors.
Horea — Google review
It was worth it. Truly amazing! Impressive building with aquarium and dolphin show. You should be here! I received support and guidance when I needed. If You wish to see dolphin show please make sure that you arrive 10 minutes earlier and take a seat because workers try to ensure health and safety for everyone. If you decide to eat dinner here then it's expensive and less choices. Public toilets are available here.
Guntars — Google review
The L'Oceanogràfic is one of Valencia's biggest attractions, a true showcase. The ticket price seemed high for our budget, but after entering and seeing these wonders, I realized it was a bargain. The animals look well-cared for and have plenty of space. The dolphin arena is a real gem. I felt the dolphins were happy; you could see their bond with their trainers, and the instructor focused on educating people about these magnificent animals and their health. Initially, I thought the area was small and would be a quick tour, but it turned out that the coolest aquariums and trails are underground, pleasantly cool (good for hot weather). It was amazing to see the belugas and underwater passages with sharks and other creatures overhead, within arm's reach. I felt the magic of this place the entire time, like a child. The photos capture it perfectly! You can buy a combined ticket to the facilities in the city of science, but THIS is a gem and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Natalia T — Google review
I liked the marine animals, beautiful buildings with modern architecture. Arrows on the floor were useful to help you follow a predefined route, to easily go through all the dark rooms with aquariums. I liked the call for everyone to get involved and make changes for a better planet. The dolphin show was a bit boring, a few jumps, swimming with 2 employees and that's it. I've seen better shows at dolphinariums. If you want a good seat go there with many minutes before the show.
Nico — Google review
This place was awesome. Lots of fish. We even saw whales a crocodile penguins. Jellyfish and lots of other animals and exciting things to see. I would definitely go again as you couldn’t see from the photos there is a lot to see and a lot to do it does cost. It cost us €38 per person. I don’t know what that will be for people looking at this in a few years time. But you can spend three or four hours in there easy And if you come with children, there is plenty of things for them to jump a boat undo ice cream shops. There’s a restaurant in there. There is play areas for kids as well.
Travel L — Google review
Went with the vision this would probably rate as a childrens zoo. Not at all it was amazing. Such a different perspective of the sea creatures which interacted with you as you passed along underwater tunnels. Clean, good food, exceptional staff and most of all the most hilarious penguins I've ever met. Prepare to be intrigued, delighted and entertained.
Mandy M — Google review
I recently visited Oceanogràfic in Valencia, and it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The aquarium is beautifully designed, easy to explore, and filled with an impressive variety of marine life from all around the world. Out of all the exhibits, the dolphins and sea lions were definitely the highlights of my visit. Watching the dolphins was truly unforgettable — they were energetic, playful, and clearly well-cared for, and their interactions with the trainers made the experience both educational and entertaining. The sea lions were equally captivating, with their curious personalities and lively behaviour. I could have spent hours watching them glide through the water and interact with each other. The whole place feels very immersive, and the layout allows you to get close to the animals without feeling crowded or rushed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well-maintained and clean, from the walkways to the viewing areas. Whether you’re visiting as a family, a couple, or even on your own, there’s plenty to enjoy and learn. Overall, Oceanogràfic offers a wonderful mix of entertainment and education, and I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a memorable day out.

The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias is a cutting-edge science complex located in a beautifully landscaped park. It features a large aquarium, an IMAX cinema, and various cultural and scientific institutions.
The river that runs through Valencia was redirected, and the kilos of dry River bed have been turned into Parkland. This collection of buildings is one of the highlights of this redevelopment and iconic buildings of contemporary architecture, dedicated to the sciences and arts. The Central pools remind you that this area used to be a river And also offer relief from the heat when the wind blows across them. The collection of buildings are extraordinary and Howes and aquarium and IMAX Theatre Gardens and museums. The Bridge, which crosses the drive of the bed is also iconic and a beautiful addition to this amazing architectural area.A wonderful place to wander through and visit some of these exquisite places.

The architecture is amazing and is covered in nature. You can even see and hear parrots in the trees and it's beautiful. It's a brilliant place to walk around and explore but one thing which wasn't the best was the cost to go inside. I read other reviews and some people said how it isn't worth paying the money to go inside and I can agree with them. If you want to, your more than welcome to pay the money to go inside but I wouldn't. Overall, amazing place to go and there's a bus which goes right up to the museum which was very helpful.

We visited the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in Valencia today (October), and it was a wonderful experience even without going inside the buildings. The weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot, and there were fewer people around, which made it peaceful to stroll through and take photos. The modern architecture is stunning, and the reflections on the water create a beautiful, almost futuristic atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting, even just to enjoy the walk and the views.

We were there on a Saturday night. It was very nice to walk around. The architecture was fascinating and the vibe was just very good. A nice place to stroll around and it was super easy to get there from the city center. And don’t forget to check out the whisper chamber! It was very cool!!!

The City of Arts and Sciences is a futuristic destination in Valencia, well worth a visit. It's a large area encompassing many buildings, of which the oceanarium is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and highly recommended. Even without tickets, it's still worth seeing the buildings from the outside, although you should be careful with the sun as the main promenades are uncovered. However, there's a garden and a park along the entire length, so I recommend exploring those paths.
Natalia T — Google review
A spectacular place where science comes to life through interactive experiences, and architecture itself becomes art. The building is stunning — futuristic, full of light, and truly one of Valencia’s modern landmarks. Exhibits are well organized and engaging for all ages, from hands-on experiments to immersive multimedia displays. A space that inspires curiosity and reminds you how beautiful knowledge can be.

Eric S — Google review
We did the whole Combination, Museum, Cinema and the Oceanographic Park! Booked a combined ticket in advance which I would recommend! The Museum is a must for every person that’s interested in science/ the human body! We are two medstudents and we loved it but it’s definitely something children would love as well! The Movie is just an experience for the eyes, the big round screen is unique and therefore very interesting! The Seaanimals are very nice to watch. However, might be the case that they have multiple certifications but to have beluga whales in an Aquarium and Dolphines for a show, even if it isn’t as disciplined as some other shows, isn’t really acceptable. We on purpose didn’t go to the show and we read afterwards some articles which stated the show is very dolphins friendly and the circumstances are far from shows at Seaworld etc. but we heard the crowd from far and Dolphines are very intelligent and sensitive animals which is why that’s not acceptable. Just because they don’t treat the Dolphines as cruel as others, doesn’t mean it’s not cruel. And to keep them and even bigger animals, belugas, in a tank of water when normally they would wander thousands of miles in the ocean just makes me very sad. And I am aware, that they also support the ecosystem sea in a way but I would like to see at least no Dolphines and Whales in Tanks way to small for their needs. We won’t be coming back, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend anyone going there. The only case I would go back is probably with kids, for educational purposes. However, still 3 Stars for the Cinema and the Museum.

The Central Market in Valencia is absolutely incredible. The building itself is stunning, with beautiful architecture and a vibrant, bustling atmosphere. Inside, the variety is endless fresh produce, spices, cheeses, baked goods, and so much more. It’s a feast for the senses, with colors, aromas, and flavors everywhere you turn. The vendors are friendly and passionate about their products, and it’s the perfect place to sample local specialties or pick up something unique. Whether you’re shopping, snacking, or just exploring, this market is a must-see in Valencia. Truly one of the highlights of the city.

Incredible market with absolutely everything you’d need to create a beautiful meal. Everything was fresh and the market is very clean. Bought a few baked goods and they did not disappoint! Absolutely amazing!

Nice place to roam and get inspired. But nothing was calling me. I am pure veg so didn't get attracted to most of the stalls. Smell was also really strong that day. But it's nice to know that the building is having it since 100 years going on as a tradition

Very nice food market. Lots of food is repeated, but you still get a lot of variety. Much of the food is very overpriced, but I guess that's what you get at a touristy place. All the food looks nice, but I'm not sure if the quality is actually that good. Comes with parking, which is good.

100% worth visiting. This market is incredible. The building itself beautiful, but just to walk up and find every aisle immersing yourself in local fresh produce is a real experience. It does not feel too touristy in my opinion as you are surrounded by locals doing their daily shop. It does get busy, so go early (maybe that’s why I didn’t find it too touristy) - I loved popping by here daily

Valencia Cathedral

Mentioned on

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Metropolitan Cathedral–Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia is a stunning Gothic-style cathedral that is renowned for housing the Holy Grail. Visitors can also explore the historic Miguelete tower, which offers panoramic views of the city. The cathedral is located in Valencia's city center, making it easily accessible on foot. Nearby attractions include the Plaza de la Reina, the Silk Exchange, and the Modernist Central Market.
Valencia Cathedral – A Place of Power, Peace, and History This is more than just a church — it’s a living piece of history in the heart of the city. Built on the site of a former mosque, the cathedral beautifully blends Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, and even Moorish elements. Every corner tells a different story. 🔔 Don’t miss the climb to the Miguelete Tower — the panoramic view of Valencia’s old town is absolutely breathtaking. 💎 Inside, you’ll find one of Christianity’s most sacred relics: the Holy Grail, believed by some to be the actual cup used by Jesus during the Last Supper. 🎫 There is an entrance fee, but it’s absolutely worth it — the audio guide, stunning interior, and powerful atmosphere make it unforgettable.

Breathtaking. That’s the word that lingers after stepping out of Valencia’s Cathedral. Few temples manage to balance grandeur, mystery, and lived history the way this one does. From the moment a visitor crosses its threshold, the space feels alive with centuries of devotion, civic pride, and Mediterranean light. Its architecture is a palimpsest of Valencia itself: Romanesque bones, Gothic ambition, Renaissance discipline, Baroque flourish—each layer revealing a chapter of the city’s identity. The soaring vaults lift the gaze almost instinctively, while the side chapels, rich but never overwhelming, draw you into quieter stories of art, faith, and patronage. And then there’s the Holy Chalice chapel, a place where symbolism and narrative converge so powerfully that even the skeptical pause. Climbing the Miguelete tower rewards anyone willing to take on the spiral steps: the view is a gift—Valencia unfolding in every direction, its rooftops, plazas, and coastline stitched together by sunlight. In all, this cathedral isn’t just beautiful; it’s meaningful. It’s one of the most remarkable cathedrals a traveler can encounter, a space that manages to be both monumental and deeply human.

Great touristic attraction, well organized by self touring headsets, no need to join groups or guides. Prices are very reasonable and they have offers for families. The facility is accessible for wheelchairs including the museum inside the cathedral.

Both a house of God and a home to some of the finest religious art in the world. I'd recommend getting the audio guide tour, which was both informative and very easy to follow. I am now convinced that the Holy Grail is indeed real, and located in Valencia Cathedral. Definitely take the extra trip up the tower (accessible after you exit) for amazing views over the city.

What a magnificent cathedral! Even from the outside, it makes a phenomenal impression. Think it's just the facade? Try walking around it; it looks like the cathedral encompasses half the city. A huge, magnificent building, so beautiful inside that it takes your breath away. The entire interior is simple, and the altar is fantastically rich. An undeniable highlight is the audio guide, which is free with the Valencia card. Inside the cathedral is the entrance to the museum, which is multi-story, grand, and contains numerous artifacts, especially the Holy Grail.

🏆⛪ A Cathedral with a Real Treasure ​ The Cathedral is a history book written in stone. Although the current structure was built after the Christian Reconquista, underground you will find traces of great civilizations: fragments of an old Roman wall and relics of the Moorish era (the cathedral stands directly on the foundations of a former mosque). ​This monumental building, expanded over centuries, hides something even more valuable than architecture. The side chapel houses what is most likely "the" Holy Grail. Its history is like a movie script: sent across the Mediterranean to Spain for protection against the Romans, hidden from the Moors by monks in a mountain monastery, it finally ended up with the King of Aragon. And how did it get here? King Alfonso V pledged it as collateral for a huge loan... which he never repaid! So, the Cathedral seized the collateral. And that is how a story of a bad debt gave us access to one of Christianity's greatest relics right here in this cathedral. 🤯 ​Practical tips: 👁️ Views: Entrance to the "El Miguelete" tower is paid separately, but if you don't mind climbing 207 stairs, the panoramic view is a must. ​🗺️ OUR COSTA BLANCA TREASURE LIST: This cathedral was the crown jewel of our trip. If you are planning to visit the region, here is the list of places we visited and reviewed (look for my reviews on the map!): ​🏰 Guadalest: Castle in the rock & azure lake. ​💦 Algar Waterfalls: Refreshing nature. ​🏘️ Costa Blanca Trio: Colorful Villajoyosa, white Altea & Benidorm skyscrapers. ​🥘 Valencia: Oceanogràfic & the atmospheric Old Town. ​🎯 ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED ACTIVITIES: ​🐎 Horse Riding: An amazing ride on the dunes with Jess Pony Express in Guardamar (great for advanced riders too!). ​🏎️ Quads: Adrenaline at the lake with Costa Blanca Quad Tours.

Beautiful 2025 Jubilee Cathedral. I love going Holy Mass here every time I visit Valencia. The cathedral has impressive architecture and beautiful works of art. It is breathtaking and not to mention the Holy Chalice Chapel (which I have seen in previous visits). Holy Mass, celebrated by the bishop, was amazing and there were so many people attending from different parts of the world. This Sunday The Holy Chalice Chapel was not open for visitors and the small shop was shut also. However, there was access to the Cathedral Tower, from where you can have a panoramic view of Valencia. A wonderful sacred place to visit with so much beautiful art.

La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia

Mentioned on 
+80 other lists 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
La Lonja de la Seda de Valencia, also known as the Silk Exchange, is a grandiose building that showcases the city's Medieval wealth through intricate stonework and carvings. It was once a symbol of Valencia's power during its economic boom in the 14th to 16th centuries due to silk production. The Merchant's Hall within the building is considered a magnificent jewel with its unique design featuring columns resembling palm trees and a ceiling meant to evoke a starry sky.
A beautiful UNESCO world heritage site in the centre of València. Very helpful staff and considering its UNESCO - there was no queues and no waiting times. We were given the option of an audio guide which we took. Very easy audio equipment to use, including the map, which directs you from around the building and even brings you on the outside of the building too! Would definitely recommend to spend an hour here.
Josh M — Google review
A fascinating structure and unique interior architecture especially the columns in the main hall that support the floor. The ancient trading place mainly for the Silk trading auction and meetings is a great place to visit. The courtyard houses rare plants and orange trees with with seating to relax and enjoy the view.
Mas — Google review
Stunning architecture! La Lonja is more than just a pretty building… its architecture and internal design reflect its commercial, juridical, and symbolic roles. It is a monumental civil (i.e. non-religious) Gothic building in the old city of Valencia. It was built between 1482 and 1533, though parts (or phases) extended a bit later. It was also declared a “Monumento Nacional” in 1931 and later (in 1996) a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its primary historical purpose was as a place of commerce and trading • especially for silk (hence the name) • but also more broadly as a mercantile and legal hub. It is a superb example of late Valencian Gothic (sometimes also called “Valencian Gothic” or “Flamboyant Gothic” in its details) in a secular building. Many internal columns are twisted / helical stone pillars (roughly 16 m tall), giving an effect sometimes likened to “ropes” or “palms.” One stronger and better-documented connection is via Luis de Santángel, a financier from Valencia. According to historical accounts, Santángel (a converso, i.e. Jewish origin turned Christian) helped to underwrite or facilitate funding for Columbus’s voyage to the Americas under the Catholic Monarchs. Because of Santángel’s support and his merchant / banking role in Valencia, some have suggested indirect connections between Valencia’s mercantile circles (like those centered around La Lonja) and the expedition. (But this does not mean Columbus worked in or used the Lonja.) Some fringe or minority theories propose that Columbus came from Valencia (or from a family of silk merchants in Valencia) rather than the more traditional view that he was from Genoa (Italy). For example, in a recent documentary and some forensic / DNA-based speculation, it has been claimed that Columbus might have been from a Jewish silk-weaving family in Valencia, and that he concealed his origin to avoid persecution under the Inquisition. However, many historians and geneticists remain skeptical of these claims, finding them insufficiently substantiated. Because construction of La Lonja began circa 1482–1483, while Columbus’s first voyage began in 1492, there is a temporal overlap: the new mercantile institutions and architectural expressions in Valencia were rising just as the Atlantic era began. Some narratives point out this coincidence, suggesting that Valencia was a rising trade power in the same era Columbus sailed.

The entry fee was a very reasonable €2 per person. You can also rent an audio tour for an additional €2.5. We saw the amazing architecture that was ahead of its time and the stunning columns and ornate details around the building. The included video presentation was worth the watch to gain a deeper understanding of the history of the building. There was a small line outside when we arrived, but it moved quickly and we were admitted to buy our tickets shortly and explored the building on our own.
Terence L — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful historic building! La Lonja de la Seda is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and a must-see in Valencia. The twisting columns and vaulted ceilings are incredible, and the courtyard with orange trees is peaceful and charming. It’s well-preserved, easy to visit, and gives a real sense of the city’s rich history. Highly recommended!
Anthony C — Google review
Place was ok for about 10 minutes, however we found English audio guide boring and overcomplicated. This adds to the fact that the 4 rooms that you could enter were completely empty. We, as a group, have been to other Spanish buildings that were not only bigger but more interesting with the same price. This led to us being quite disappointed with our experience. My advice is to see for yourself without the audioguide for 15 minutes and possibly visit the central market afterwards.

We did our own self-guided tour with the audio phones and walked around it was great it was late October a little busy but not super crowded. So amazing and beautiful historical place to visit.

There's not much to say. It's a magnificent building with a history that's a must-see. Free admission with the Valencia Card. You can also purchase an audio guide, but I'm not sure it's worth it, as several rooms feature a film with English subtitles that outlines the building's history, its use, its architecture, and, for example, the history and significance of the spectacular ceiling. It's truly worth a visit.

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Bioparc Valencia is a unique zoo that houses nearly a thousand animals from 150 different African species. The park features specially designed habitats to ensure the well-being and comfort of the animals, offering visitors an immersive experience in various natural habitats. From vast savannas to dense forests, visitors can observe antelopes, giraffes, rhinoceroses, hyenas, buffaloes, leopards, gorillas, and elephants in recreated wild environments.
This is by far the best zoo I’ve visited in a long time! The viewing experience is excellent. Every animal can be seen clearly from multiple angles, and the enclosures are beautifully designed. One small improvement would be to include more animals and represent more regions. Overall, an amazing experience!
Hussain R — Google review
I really enjoyed visiting this zoo! The place is huge and very well kept, with an amazing variety of animals — including some really rare and beautiful species. You can tell the animals are well cared for, and the enclosures are clean and spacious. The only downside is the ticket price — it’s a bit expensive, especially for families. But overall, it’s a great place to spend a few hours, relax, and see lots of incredible animals. Definitely worth visiting!
Артур — Google review
One of the nicest zoos we ever visited. Even though it might look small, we spent great day there. Great variety of animals, the hippo feeding was amazing to see. The animals seem happy and very well cared for. In comparison with other zoos is this one alot of them share the space (like giraffes, ostriches, goats, birds) which gives a much more natural feeling, no cages, no minuscule enclosures. We were just in time for the "Circle of life" show where birds were flying around the arena which was very cool. Only downside was that some people were smoking even if its prohibited Even the restaurant has an amazing view to the animal enclosures. Overall great experience, even though a bit pricey it's definitely worth.

Amazing bioparc! Spent a day here while traveling in Valencia and so glad i did. Wonderfully laid out, not too busy, and great keeper talks given in spanish, catalan and english in the different areas of the park. Enjoyed the lunch meal deal in the cafeteria as well, great traditional paella for the cost.

Fantastic experience for everyone who want to enjoy a day (takes more than a couple of hours for a decent tour) with animals. I like that it's not you classic (and sad) Zoo, here animals have a good amount of space and are nourished and looked after. There is great variety and there are multiple places where you can rest and relax. The ticket price is not cheap, but it's something you can expect to keep those animals in the best possible conditions.
Fabrizio D — Google review
I'm thrilled with this biopark! The animals are cage-free, in conditions that are close to real life. There are waterfalls, ponds, lots of trees and grass, and rock formations. The animals are clean, well-fed, and look healthy and calm. The animals live as if on islands that you can walk around on all sides. I've never seen anything like this with the opportunity to see wild animals so close. Any zoo is still captivity, but this the best that can be in such conditions. The staff is friendly and professional, and there are tours available. I was especially impressed by the area with the lemurs, who just run around next to you, without cages. Elephants, hippos, giraffes, lions, a leopard, turtles, monkeys, many large and small animals, and birds. We wish the biopark prosperity and healthy visitors.
Мария В — Google review
So much fun! Only £25 each for adults. Purchased online the day before and didn’t have to line up like the rest. Able to just walk in. The enclosures were so nicely done, clean and the animals appeared well looked after. Would recommend the hippo feeding which is free to watch. The bird show is something I wouldn’t rave about and if you’re short on time give it a miss. Otherwise so fun. They have an open enclosure where the lemurs reside.
Sarah P — Google review
Very interesting walk-through zoo. Quite easy to reach by bus. Can easily spend a good three quarters of a day walking through and having fun with family. In order to enter it is recommended that you buy the tickets online before, otherwise you will end up waiting for half an hour to three quarters of an hour. The issue was not the long queue as much as disorganisation by the personnel selling / scanning tickets. They could have done a lot more and faster if they opened one or two more selling stations and organised the queues a bit more (people were skipping queue and it was not nice!). Zoo is recommended for families of all ages but especially for children. If you go do not miss the AR underwater experience. It is a must for circa Euro 5 (each person). Quite original and good. The only downside was the buying of slushy drinks from the park (actaully from all over Valencia!). You had to buy a refillable cup. Whilst I understand this option to reduce plastic waste, the probability is that you cannot keep on going around Valencia with the cup to refill each time and this custom of selling slushy with cup seems to be all over the city. So you either buy a cup each time (which is not environmentally and financially friendly) or opt for another drink. The rest was all positive and very recommended. The souvenir shop was ok but could do with a good upgrade of original products to sell.

Castle

Monuments & Statues
Sagunto Castle, located about 25 kilometers north of Valencia, is a historic site with origins dating back to the Iberian period. The castle offers sprawling remains and partly-restored structures such as the Roman theatre, Gothic architecture, and the old Jewish quarter. 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.
Terence L — Google review
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.

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.

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 🌍📈

(Translated by Google) Excellent treatment by Flor. Quality product and good price. (Original) Trato excelente por parte de Flor. Producto de calidad y bien de precio.

(Translated by Google) Yesterday I bought a dozen anchovies from them, €15.60, supposedly of quality. They are hard and have thorns. (Original) Ayer les compré una docena de anchoas, 15,60€, supuestamente de calidad. Están duras y tienen espinas..

(Translated by Google) They confuse you with the exchange rate. They "force" you to buy a product you don't need. There's a place to go back. What a shame. (Original) Te hacen el lío con el cambio. Te "obligan" a comprar un producto que no necesitas. Está el sitio para volver. Menuda vergüenza

(Translated by Google) The Plaza Mayor of Castellón de la Plana is the civic, commercial, and religious heart of the city. It is one of the busiest and most emblematic spots, where the most important institutional and monumental buildings converge. The plaza is entirely pedestrianized, making it a vibrant meeting place. 🏛️ Monuments and Buildings of Interest The Plaza Mayor is surrounded by a monumental complex that spans centuries of history and architectural styles: Co-cathedral of Santa María la Mayor: It is the city's main religious temple. Seat of the Diocese of Segorbe-Castellón. El Fadrí (Bell Tower): The bell tower of the Co-cathedral, but it is a freestanding structure (separate from the main church). It is one of the undisputed symbols of Castellón. Construction began in 1440. Town Hall: The most politically important building in the city. It is notable for its Renaissance-style façade with features such as the porch with five arches and Corinthian pilasters. It houses collections of paintings by artists from Castellón. Central Market: Located on the south side of the square, this 1940s building is the city's main food market. Its façade and interior structure are of great interest. (Original) La Plaza Mayor de Castellón de la Plana es el corazón cívico, comercial y religioso de la ciudad. Es uno de los puntos más concurridos y emblemáticos, y en ella convergen los edificios institucionales y monumentales más importantes. La plaza es completamente peatonal, lo que la convierte en un espacio vibrante de encuentro. 🏛️ Monumentos y Edificios de Interés La Plaza Mayor está rodeada por un conjunto monumental que abarca siglos de historia y estilos arquitectónicos: Concatedral de Santa María la Mayor: Es el principal templo religioso de la ciudad. Sede del Obispado de Segorbe-Castellón. El Fadrí (Torre Campanario): La torre-campanario de la Concatedral, pero es una estructura exenta (separada) del templo. Es uno de los símbolos indiscutibles de Castellón. Sus obras comenzaron en 1440. Casa Consistorial (Ayuntamiento): El edificio más importante a nivel político de la ciudad. Destaca por su fachada de estilo renacentista con elementos como el porche con cinco arcos y pilastras corintias. Alberga colecciones de pintura de autores castellonenses. Mercado Central: Ubicado en el lado sur de la plaza, este edificio de los años 40 es el principal centro de abastos de la ciudad. Su fachada y estructura interior son de gran interés.

(Translated by Google) Perhaps the most important place in the city of Castellon is this Plaza, where the most emblematic buildings of the place are located, such as the central market, the town hall or the Concatedeal de Santa María.

Nice small village. Pictures on every wall i have seen. Pet friendly (especially cats). In a few years will be certainly a turist attraction.(They continue to add new paintings and have plans for more). No ticket needed. Free and open all time.

Fantastic place to visit, brilliant variety of murals and real skill on show. Shame the town doesn’t have a Moho parking spot as we’d have stayed overnight and eaten/drink in the town. There’s plenty of spaces they could set one up! The museo is great, get a map and explore!

Village in the middle of Castellon called Fanzara with lots and lots of murals painted on the walls. Only 300 people live here. Worth a visit.
John G — Google review
Fantastic use of urban art, in an isolated village in the Sierra De Espadan. Completely free to visit and open all year round, MIAU, its shop/museum and the annual festival are all run by volunteers who live in the town. They never intended it to become what it has... MIAU was a unifying idea which became a solution to the sociocultural split that opened up in the town some eight years ago, over a proposed toxic waste plant which in the end was cancelled but the social scars remained. While you are up there, combine the visit with a hike around the gorgeous scenery around the sierras, followed by lunch and a cold beer in the Bar D'Abajo.

The murals in this town were a delight to view. We went on a Monday and it was very quiet. It looks like things change somewhat frequently. I wish there was more of a restaurant in town to round out our visit. But we did stop for a cortado. Definitely stop for a visit!

Fuente de los Baños

Nature & Parks
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.
Ally P — Google review
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.

Monasterio de Piedra

Monasterio de Piedra is a stunning natural park located in Nuevalos, where the Piedra river creates a breathtaking setting around a 12th-century monastery. The park features waterfalls, caves, and lush vegetation amidst an otherwise arid landscape. Visitors can explore the monastery's walls steeped in eight centuries of history since its consecration in 1218.
The park is simply fantastic; spending a day there is a great pleasure for the whole family. The fresh air and the river create a wonderfully warm atmosphere. If you happen to see the birds perform, you're in luck. Come and see.

It is certainly a noteworthy and highly recommended experience in Zaragoza. Initially, one might be taken aback by the 19€ entrance fee for the hike. Nevertheless, after traversing the path, it quickly becomes apparent that it is worth every penny. We visited in October and enjoyed delightful weather. I can imagine that it might be quite warm during the summer months. A small suggestion: opt for the longer hiking route instead of the shortcut, provided you are physically capable, as you will not be disappointed.

Actually, during this photoshoot, we were also driven away. The location itself was quite remote and inconvenient to access—it required about one half an hour of driving from the city center—though the scenery there was truly beautiful. What was infuriating was that just when we were about to leave, an elderly staff member angrily warned us that we shouldn't wear "such Japanese-style clothing" and that we should "wear normal clothes." It wouldn't have been a big deal initially, but he kept pressing us, and that made me angry. I explained clearly that this is, in fact, Chinese-style clothing. But he responded with a dismissive expression, saying, "I don't care which country it's from—you just can't dress like this here." He went on to say a lot of very disrespectful things. We had already explained that other staff outside had allowed us to enter, yet he still confronted us angrily behind our backs. I just want to say: you can be upset if our unconventional clothing disturbed your work, but you shouldn’t discriminate against a character like this. Even if the character I’m cosplaying isn’t a good person, we’re all here out of love for the craft, investing our own time, money, and effort—some of us even traveled four hours from other cities just to be there. In that moment, I nearly lost my temper and felt like cursing at him, just like Xue Yang would have. My friend, cosplaying as Jin Guangyao, probably noticed the look on my face and stepped in to calmly talk to the other party. Anyway, with all that happened, and considering the remote location despite its beauty, I said I won’t be going back again. ---

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. The only things I was missing were the better indications of the pathways. We spend more than 3 hours there photographing and enjoying the beautiful nature. The light was amazing in the morning. It is not suitable for people with wheelchair. Also, there are quite tough parts on the path going up and down the stairs.

I went there for the Spa and the termal waters after I ws on a trip through the Scandinavian and Baltic countries. We'll, it is very sad but there is no a positive way to compare them. This place was more expensive, the water was either very cold or lukewarm and the lack of maintenance was unbelievable, I mean the little mosaics titles were loose in the pools floor. Some of the water taps were not even working, but of course everything was about to be fixed the next day. Typical Spaniard answer. And, even tho the entrance is pricey for what it is the charge you extra for a pool cap.
Pedro G — Google review
WOW!! Allow a whole day for this place. Good walking conditions with correct footwear. Lots of waterfalls means lots of damp and slippy areas..but worth it. And don't forget to stop and see the raptors..amazing!! Trying to edit my post 🤞Also, you can follow the path down to the waterfall and go behind it! Follow the steps down to the cave, it's well lit and has handrails. Not for small toddlers or prams and pushchairs...and probly not good for dogs unless they trained in cave rescue!😂but the view from behind the waterfall is sooo beautiful and breathtaking and wet!! Wear your hood up, no umbrellas, you will need both hands to take photos!
MamaG — Google review
Amazing area. If you are in the area, you need to go here. The nature is incredible with tons of green, lots of waterfalls and some caves. A ticket costs around 18 euros but was definitely worth it. The path is around 7km. The monastery is also pretty impressive and free to visit.
Jochem C — Google review
This park is worth every penny. About 2.5 hours of absolute nature magic. Recommended early morning, opens at 09:00 and avoid weekends. Bring a picnic as there are nice places to do it, take your time and enjoy nature. Buy your tickets online and bring a professional camera because you will get some amazing shots.

Nestled in the heart of Zaragoza, the Escuela Museo de Origami Zaragoza (EMOZ) is a captivating destination for anyone intrigued by the delicate art of paper folding. Established in 2003 through a collaboration between the Spanish Origami Association and local authorities, this unique museum celebrates origami's rich history and creativity. Visitors can explore an impressive collection that features everything from intricate animal designs to stunning geometric forms and even life-sized installations.
Such a delightful museum with an international collection of origami talent on display. Well worth a visit. Neighborhood seemed a little sketchy but with police presence around it felt safer.

On the top floor of the building we got to enjoy the Origami Museum. It was beautiful and had some phenomenal art. It was just really hot while we were in there and it made it hard to enjoy the art. If given an opportunity make sure you come in without a jacket and I guarantee you will love the work that has been created with paper.

Great museum to visit with the whole family, other than the incredible collections and history of the origami, at the time of our visit they had a floor with interactive/mind games and a special exhibition mixing Goya and Hellboy, take your time and enjoy. Dogs not allowed.

This is the best Origami Museum and school in the world! And the best I’ve been to. Jorge, the curator, has the widest and most diverse showcase of origami art. The museum also clearly shows the global network connected to this institution and the history behind it. Classes were not available when we visited but it is surely a place we will return for in Zaragoza. We also bought origami art for display which they sell outside after you walk through the full floor showcase. Scroll through the photos to check their display which will be refreshed in mid-March.

Extremely interesting museum! Very unique, the only one in Europe. Nice experience and better than some of modern art. It takes around 1 hour. Ticket costs 3 euro.

It can be a bit of walk to get here from central Zaragoza but it really is a fantastic museum if you enjoy the art of paper folding. Located on the top floor and accessible by either stairs or lift, admission is normally €3 per person (September 2022 prices.) Museum explains the history of Origami and there are a number of artefacts made in the style including flowers, portraits and dresses. If you enjoy Origami and are interested in how far this art form has been taken then please visit. It was very quiet when we visited.
Andrew L — Google review
Absolutely amazing! I had no idea what origami art existed outside of animals. This is an exquisite collection of the entire gamut of styles. Nice historical timeline or how paper was first created in China to how the art of origami spread around the world. Explanations of different styles of folding and types of paper. Huge wall hanging pieces that look like fabric, plastic or leather. Many are painted. Every kind of shape. 3€. Quiet section of town. On the 2nd floor within a larger historical museum with other small exhibits which are free. Definitely worth a visit.
