Descrição
Discover the beauty of Alcalá del Júcar on a private day trip from Valencia. Explore the winding streets of the old town, visit the Roman bridge, and enjoy a drink in the town’s famous caves.
Leave the coast behind and travel through the rolling landscapes of the Valencian and Castilian countryside, where vineyards, olive groves, and gentle mountain ranges stretch as far as the eye can see. Pass peaceful villages and timeless farmland, each turn of the road revealing a new postcard-perfect view.
Perched high on the edge of a gorge carved by the Júcar River, Alcalá del Júcar seems almost suspended between earth and sky. The village’s whitewashed houses tumble down the cliffside toward the water, crowned by a 12th-century Moorish castle that has watched over the valley for nearly a thousand years.
Explore the winding streets of the old town, visiting the Roman bridge, the blue-domed Church of San Andrés, and the historic bullring, remarkably built within the natural contours of the gorge. Your guide will share the stories of this unique place, from its Moorish roots to its role as a frontier stronghold, as you wander past cave homes carved into the rock and terraces that overlook the river’s emerald waters.
From the castle ramparts, the view over the gorge and the whitewashed village below is unforgettable, a perfect spot to pause and take in the majesty of the landscape. Walk down through the village, stopping for a drink in the town’s famous caves, used once by the Moors for defense.
Pass by the quaint church, and across a Roman bridge, and see the river beach (bathable in the summertime), with some of the best views above, especially in March with almond blossoms in season. See why this town is considered one of the “Top 10 Prettiest Towns in Spain.”
Have lunch either overlooking the village or next to the flowing river, where you can enjoy regional Castilian dishes paired with local wine, Manchuela — the ideal setting to relax and soak up the atmosphere.
