Rafelbunyol Final de Trajecte

The starting point of Final de Trajecte is to reclaim public space from vandalism and abandonment. A series of exhibitions of street art can be seen in different spaces of the town. Rafelbunyol is a small town in the region of l'Horta Nord that nestles amongst orange trees and that conserves the traditional character of farming villages. The festival name comes from the fact that Rafelbunyol is the final stop of the Línea 3 of the València Metro, the inheritor of the old "trenet", a narrow-gauge railway line, that covers a large part of the region of l'Horta.

La Esperanza spring and chapel

Three kilometres from Segorbe and on a leafy hill is the Esperanza chapel, standing alongside the remains of what was once a Hieronymite monastery, founded in the late 15th century and destroyed during the Carlist wars. The spring is at the foot of the hill, with more than enough water to supply the city and irrigate part of its agricultural land, as well as supplying a further two neighbouring towns.

Fountain of the 50 spouts

This beautiful spot is on the right-hand bank of the Palancia river, near the city, and has plenty of shade plus a restaurant. It makes an ideal setting for enjoying nature and relaxing in rural surroundings. Over the spouts on the fountain you can see fifty heraldic shields, one for each Spanish province.

A lovely place for a stroll and for watching the river flowing by.

Cova Santa

A sanctuary inside a cave stretching back 20 metres in the town of Altura, on one of the highest mountains in the Sierra Calderona mountain range. You enter via a set of steps leading to the chapel of the Virgin, built in the 17th century in the depths of the cave and closed off by railings. It's said that the Virgin appeared here in 1516 and a number of miracles occurred that have been recognised by the Vatican.

Arab Baths

You can visit the Arab baths in Torres-Torres to commemorate the Arab part of the of the base of the Holy Grail. The Arab baths in Torres-Torres were declared a National Monument in 1938, and the site is one of only three still preserved in Spain. Restoration work has been done on the baths to make them suitable for the public to visit. The first documented reference to the baths dates back to 1555, when they were probably no longer in use for bathing.
