Itinerary:

Departure from Valencia in the morning
Visit to Xativa
Visit to the River Sellent
Return to Valencia


Our first stop will be in the municipality of Xátiva, which was one of the most important towns in the Kingdom of Valencia. Despite being burned in 1707, Xátiva still preserves an important artistic heritage, such as the Xátiva Castle.

How could it be otherwise, the Happy Erasmus group has scheduled a visit to the Castle, which has been the scene and witness of numerous conflicts. This architectural monument is divided into the Castell Menor and the Castell Major, through which we can find influences of different origin, since its roots are Iberian and Roman, but most of the preserved walls and towers are of Islamic or Gothic origin. .

After contemplating this jewel declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, we will go to the area of ​​the Sellent River where we will enjoy bathing, sun and nature.


Our next stop will be at the Río Sellent Natural Park - a natural environment around the river where we can swim and sunbathe!

The Sellent River, as it passes through Bolbaite (Valencia), is perhaps one of the great attractions of the small town in the Canal de Navarrés region. Its mouth takes us to the well-known recreational area "Paraje del Río Sellent", where the river becomes a natural lake conditioned as a bathing area and where, at the end of the summer, thousands of people pass.

The area has tables and benches, called by the people of Bolbait "the picnic areas", ideal for spending a day of rest with friends or family in the middle of nature. It is a perfect place to spend the day, where you can enjoy an area equipped for bathing.


Going upstream, we find various gorgos, the most characteristic being the “Gorgo Cadena”, also enabled as a bathing area and which has a submerged cave of great speleological interest.
 
​We'll also go to two more beautiful corners of Spain, which are not far from Valencia.
​We'll go to Rio Sellent in the morning where we will discover this spectacular area with waterfalls, caves and until we are surrounded by ducks!



Before returning to Valencia we'll go to Chella to go to the viewpoint where we can take photos of the waterfall :)
