Take a look at a typical week |
| |
| Day 1 |
Arrival
Day
After being personally collected from Alicante
or Valencia airport you will be taken to El
Ferrajon, where you will have the opportunity
to get to know your hosts and the other members
of your party over a glass of wine at our
welcome buffet. |
Day 2 |
I can
see the sea
Start your holiday with a ridge walk across
the extinct volcanic hills that separate the
blue waters of the Mediterranean from the
paddy fields and nearby mountains. Stop for
lunch in a secluded golden sandy bay and enjoy
a leisurely swim afterwards! |
|
Day 3 |
A whitewashed Mediterranean
village
Impressive canyons and the blue lagoon and
thermal waters of the River Turia surround
the whitewashed village of Chulilla and its
imposing historic castle, making for a magnificent
day's walking. You can extend your walk by
climbing to the mirador or simply relax in
one of the squares for a pre-lunch drink before
enjoying a three-course lunch using the finest
local produce at one of the town's renowned
restaurants. |
|
Day 4 |
A drop of wine?
With its sharply vertical sides, the valley
housing the Hoces de Cabriel Nature Reserve
is truly breathtaking. A flat walk through
the canyon highlights the impressive formations
carved out by the river Cabriel. Lunch is
in the historic wine-growing town of Requena. |
|
Day 5 |
Valencia free day
Enjoy a day free from walking to explore the
city of Valencia. With its contrast of the
historic and the modern, this must-see city
truly excites the senses. Be sure to take
in the cathedral, world famous City of Arts
& Sciences, breathtaking beaches, tranquil
river park, varied museums and buzzing café
street life - not to mention its sophisticated
shops. We will supply you with a map and details
on what to do, where to go and places to eat,
and transfer you to the heart of this fascinating
city to ensure that you make the most of your
visit. |
|
Day 6 |
Dining with the Pope
Take in the thick pine tree forests, silver
green olive trees, fragrant heather, herbs
and shrubs and far reaching views across the
overlapping mountain ranges of Alicante and
the Enguerra valley. Then stop for a memorable
lunch in the dining room of Jativa Castle
- birthplace of two Popes from the Borja dynasty
- overlooking the blue-domed churches and
tiled rooftops of this historical town. |
|
Day 7 |
Paradise, punting and paella
After a circular walk through the tranquil
valley of La Murta taking in the remains of
the 14th century monastery with its cave drawings
and fish ponds, we follow the course of a
fully functioning aquaduct, before taking
you on a short boat ride across the calm waters
of L'Albufera lake to the traditional fishing
village of El Palmar. Here you can enjoy delicious
Valencian paella for lunch in one of the region's
most famous restaurants, rounding off a truly
perfect day.
