4.0 (1 Review)

Very nice, quiet place, typically Spanish, beautiful landscapes, possibilities for excursions and hikes, also by bike. Interesting painting offer, also light yoga exercises on the beach. However, it is much too far to the beach: you need a car (around 50 km). The beach is quiet, clean, the water is very clear, warm and clean. Possibilities to get to Valencia by public transport, travel time around 2 hours in total (bus and train). The cost of travel is cheap. You can also visit the smaller town of Xativa (15 km away) and take a hike from there to the castle, which is up in the mountains. Xativa has a historic district at the top and an interesting old town. However, months of July and August are not very favorable because of heat up to 44°. Living requires an openness and tolerance to homeowner, other participants, pets and local conditions. If you want to be more private and alone, it may be too crowded for you. The whole offer is quite in line with the price.
