Excursion to Valencian Mountain Towns: Anna and Xátiva

On a day trip from the city of Valencia, we will venture into the Valencian mountains. This excursion is highly popular if you want to escape the city and immerse yourself in nature and culture.

This journey takes you to the heart of the Valencian countryside and its two historic cities, Xátiva and Anna. Monumentality, nature, and landscapes await you in the Valencian inland.

Description

Starting from the capital of the Valencian Community, we will delve into the mountainous landscapes.

We will discover two historic and rural cities known for their perfectly preserved monumental buildings. In Xátiva, one of the most important cities in the province of Valencia with a rich history, we will explore El Castell, a castle perched on the hill where the city is located. It is one of the most impressive buildings, as El Castell is a double fortress divided into two parts. Built on Roman and Iberian remains, it offers a glimpse into the history represented by its walls.

Furthermore, we will find the fortress embracing the nature of Sierra Castell, from which the castle derives its name. It becomes an important stone bastion with gardens, columns, and cross-shaped elements—an impressive architectural feat.

Afterward, we will take a walk through the historic center of Xátiva before returning to our vehicles and heading towards the Cervelló Palace in Anna.

Anna, a city rich in history, will be the focus of our visit to the Palace of the Counts of Cervellón. Located in the historic center of Anna, this palace recreates the decorative world of the Muslims. Since the 12th century, the Muslims settled in the municipality and left their decorative style in mosaics, courtyards, and rooms.

On our way back to Valencia, we will make a final stop to capture the beauty of Lake Anna’s surroundings. The city is part of Albufera, and the multiple water springs throughout the city will accompany us throughout the tour, making it a mandatory stop before concluding this intense day trip from Valencia to the mountain towns.

Highlights

Visit the historic center and castle of Xátiva.

Explore the Cervelló Palace, known as the Valencian Alhambra, and the lake area in Anna.

We booked a tour into the Sierra Nevada starting from Granada. Carlos our tour guide and driver prepared a very beautiful custom tour for us. He showed us amazing viewpoints, we did some hikes through the awesome scenery of the the sierra and talked about geology and history. It was super interesting and entertaining. That's would normally the end of the review...but I forgot my glasses in Carlos' car and had a super tight time window for my departure from the airport. When I realised that I was already in the taxi to the airport...I contacted Discovering Spain by Whatsapp. The website of Discovering Spain told me 'closed on the afternoon'. But a friendly team member read my message and called Carlos. Carlos whatsapped me he could be at the airport in 20min - 5min to my boarding. We met at the security (I was already screened) and I had my glasses back. Awesome reaction and awesome service by Discovering Spain and the man of the day Carlos. Thank you!

We were admittedly nervous when we booked a guided tour of Alhambra with Discovering Spain because everything was booked for our chosen date. When we called they told us that more places would open up so we went ahead and booked it. We followed up many times with them (probably too much) and they were patient with us. They confirmed our tickets and when the day came everything went smoothly. Our guide Cristina was excellent. She was soft spoken and was a pleasure to listen to her throughout the tour with interesting facts and pointed out fascinating details all through Alhambra and Nasrid Palaces. We couldn’t imagine visiting this beautiful site without such a great guide.
