Ain Hiking Tour
For a unique experience outside the city, join us on a trip through the mountains of the Sierra Espadan in Castellon, just an hour north of Valencia city or 45 minutes west of Castellon, and walk to an abandoned Moorish castle, among other scenic treats.
Leaving the city, we take a pleasant drive north through the Sierra Espadan mountain range, driving by several quaint towns where abandoned castles and other medieval structures are not uncommon. Have a coffee or light lunch upon arrival in Ain, before the relatively easy 45 min hike up to a mountain overlooking the cute town of Ain, where we can have a break from the ruins of a Moorish castle, built over 1000 years ago! This a great hike for families and people of all ages. After the hike, we can either stop in the Caves of Vall d’Uixo, where Europe’s longest subterranean river run through for a relaxing boat ride or check out Roman and Jewish Sagunto, after a nice lunch.
Duration: 5-8 hours (customizable)
Meeting Point: At your request
The route will change slightly with your agility, stamina and speed. Your private guide will be atune to your needs and you can go as slowly or as fast as you´d like.
The tour ends back at your lodging.
NOTE: Please bring a backpack or similar to carry water and possible snacks you may need. If you´d like to add time to be able to stop and each lunch at an authentic restaurant with outdoor seating or similar, please let us know. Please dress accordingly wearing a baseball hat and using sunscreen or bringing a windbreaker or similar when it is not hot.
Private, Comfortable Transportation:
We provide private transportation in well-maintained, modern vehicles. For smaller groups (up to 4–6 people), your guide will often also serve as your driver in a clean, comfortable car or minivan. For larger groups, we arrange high-quality pre-booked minibuses or spacious taxi-vans with professional drivers. While we cannot guarantee a specific brand or model, you can always expect vehicles that are tidy, reliable, and suited to your group size for a smooth, enjoyable journey.
IMPORTANT NOTE (for groups of 6): In my larger touring car, the middle two seats are spacious and comfortable, and the back seat is a three-person bench seat that might be a tight squeeze for some. Before I can confirm a booking for six people with this vehicle, I will need confirmation that you understand this arrangement before I accept the booking. If you prefer, I would be happy to arrange a private coach and driver in addition to your guide. Please let me know that this is your preference when you submit your pre-booking form.
