3,5h approximately, Av. Selgas, 1, 46800 Játiva.
The pick-up time at the meeting point is approximate, we will contact you the day before.
Read this information carefully:
At 10:00 h we will start the guided tour of Xàtiva next to the Lion Fountain, one of the "1000 fountains" from which you can drink while strolling through the narrow streets of Xàtiva. We will soon arrive at the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria, one of the largest churches in Spain and where we will talk about the Borgia Popes, who were born in this town and ended up being one of the most historical Valencian characters.
After crossing the market square we will go to the fine arts museum Casa de l'Ensenyança, to understand the destruction of Xàtiva in 1707 in front of the painting of King Felipe V punished upside down.
At 12:00 h we will go up to the castle of Xativa which is located at the top of the mountain (we do not recommend going up on foot, the options are taxi or little train, walking is an hour). This fortress offers endless panoramic views and almost three thousand years of history, a castle through which the armies of Anibal Barca and his elephants have passed, a key piece during the reconquest with King Jaume I the conqueror and who used its dungeons as a state prison.
The visit ends at 13:30 h, at which time we can return to our destination or taste the traditional gastronomy of Xàtiva, with a baked rice casserole and arnadí or almoixàvena as typical sweets.
