Depart from Valencia in the morning, setting your sights on the inland village of Vilafames. This is one of the most delightful spots in the Valencian region. Stroll through its historic heart, where red stone houses and narrow medieval lanes create an atmosphere of tranquillity. Ascend to the hilltop castle for sweeping views and gain insights into the village's past. You'll also encounter the iconic Roca Grossa and a modern art museum, both contributing to Vilafames' distinctive charm.
Following this visit, journey towards the coast until you reach the impressive fortress town of Peniscola. Upon arrival, you're free to explore the old town with its whitewashed streets, scenic viewpoints and medieval alleys. Discover its cultural influences and the legacy left by Pope Benedict XIII, affectionately known as Papa Luna.
Included in your visit is entry to Peniscola Castle. Wander through its courtyards, towers and defensive walls while soaking up expansive sea views. Several areas of the castle may seem familiar, as they were used as filming locations in Game of Thrones.
After exploring the castle, take some time for lunch, snapping photos or perhaps a leisurely walk along the beach. Later in the afternoon, meet your group at a prearranged spot for the return trip to Valencia. This full-day excursion offers a mix of culture, history, panoramic vistas and leisure time, providing a comprehensive introduction to two beautiful destinations.
