Caves of San José & Vilafamés

Cuevas de San José (San José caves)
A 2,5km long underground river of San José with rocky landscapes maintains the temperature of + 20 degrees Celsius and is considered the longest navigable underground river in Europe.

The Caves, which sometimes are called “the heart of the earth” are  full of stalactites and stalagmites that you can enjoy during the boat ride as well as some cave drawings left centuries ago.

The caves are only 40km from Valencia and 100km from Peñiscola. And the best thing is that you don’t have to drive with the car, you just get there with the bus and enjoy traveling in a group where you can meet new people.
A unique place to visit for sure!

After the caves we will go to Vilafamés, a beautiful town that  joined the official list of Spain’s Most Beautiful Towns in 2015. Vilafames is a town painted in a palate of rustic browns and whitewashed hues with streets filled with history, culture, gastronomy, and relaxing atmosphere.

Vilafamés stands out with its Arab origin old town dating back to the 11th century as well as its castle resting on the hill above the city. The castle with an amazing panoramic view was built in the 14th century and was a strategic location during the wars.

CALPE
