Full description
Xàtiva is synonymous with abundance: due to its rich history and its enormous cultural and gastronomic influence.
It is a small city, with almost 30,000 inhabitants, perhaps little known internationally, and even in Spain itself, but it hides legends and historical treasures that marked life on the peninsula.
Cradle of the Borja Popes, lineage of culture and knowledge has seen numerous intellectuals and poets pass through and where the son of the famous Carthaginian general Aníbal Barca was born.
At 10:00 a.m.: we will discover the Castle of Xàtiva
It is located at the top of the mountain (we do not recommend going up on foot, the options are your own vehicle, taxi or little train; it takes an hour to walk).
This fortress allows you to enjoy some infinite panoramas and also almost three thousand years of history, a castle through which the armies of Aníbal Barca and his elephants have passed, a key piece during the reconquest with King Jaume I the conqueror and who used its dungeons as a state prison.
At 11:30 a.m.: we will visit the old town and the thousand fountains
We will begin the guided tour of Xàtiva next to the Fuente del León, one of the “1000 fountains” from which you can drink while walking through the narrow streets of its old town.
Suddenly we will arrive at the Collegiate Church of Santa María, one of the largest churches in Spain and where we will talk about the Borja popes, who were born in this locality and ended up being one of the most historic Valencian characters.
After crossing the market square we will go to the Casa de l’Ensenyança fine arts museum, to understand the destruction of Xàtiva in 1707 in front of the painting of King Felipe V punished upside down.
End of the visit at 1:30 p.m.
