Discover more on this Valencia Trails and Rails Holiday

Experience the perfect blend of culture, nature, and adventure on this unforgettable 7-day holiday through Valencia and its stunning surroundings. Valencia Trails and Rails combines the ease of train travel with an immersive hiking experience, taking you from ancient Roman ruins to breathtaking natural parks, all while savoring authentic Mediterranean cuisine.

Based in Valencia’s vibrant city center, you’ll explore Spain’s third-largest city and discover why locals call it the perfect balance between Barcelona’s energy and Seville’s unique charm. Walk through centuries of history in the medieval Old Quarter, marvel at the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, and learn the secrets of Valencia’s most famous landmarks from expert local guides.

Your adventure extends beyond the city limits with scenic train journeys to historic Xàtiva, where an imposing hilltop castle offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Hike through the diverse ecosystems of Albufera Natural Park, where pine forests meet golden beaches and traditional rice paddies. Cruise across the tranquil Albufera lake on a traditional boat before dining on authentic paella in El Palmar, the very village where this iconic dish was born.

For nature lovers, venture into Valencia’s mountainous interior to discover hidden waterfalls, crystal-clear pools, and dramatic caves on the Buñol water route. History enthusiasts can step back in time at Sagunto’s impressive Roman theater and explore the medieval Jewish quarter that winds through this ancient settlement.

With a perfect mix of guided tours, independent exploration, and flexible free days, Valencia Trails and Rails lets you experience the region at your own pace while enjoying the comfort and convenience of Spain’s excellent rail network.
