What to expect
You'll be collected by your private driver and guide for the journey to Xàtiva. The morning focuses on the castle complex: expect a steady uphill walk to reach the fortress, then time spent on the walls absorbing the strategic position and panoramic landscape. The museum visit adds context to the region's past. After descending, you'll spend the afternoon wandering the old town at a relaxed tempo, with space built in for a proper meal at a local restaurant. The pace suits all fitness levels, though the castle involves stairs and uneven ground.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water for the castle section. The old town has plenty of good-value restaurants for lunch (not included). Infant car seats available if needed. Public transport connects Xàtiva to Valencia if you prefer independent travel back.
