About Xàtiva: the back story

Xàtiva lies south of Valencia below a castle that runs along the ridge above the town.

Getting there

Renfe Cercanías from Valencia’s Estació del Nord; check renfe.com on the day.

The town

Climb to the castle for the view; the tourist office is on Avenida de Selgas (xativaturismo.com).

Cercanías trains run from the Estació del Nord.

Our advice: go early in summer.
