Here is a day trip to ALCALA DEL JUCAR we enjoyed last Sunday. It is 1h45’ drive from VALENCIA (140km) but worth the visit!
Alcala del Jucar is a “Troglodyte” village. First you will be impressed by the view then you discover the castle at the top, the river ”Jucar” at the bottom.
Inside the village, you walk through narrow streets and you can visit “Cueva del Masago”, It is a typical cave with a tunnel of 110m which give you access to the other side of the mountain, really impressive. You can have a coffee or lunch there.
Finally the visit of the Castle (well refurbished) is always fun with kids. On Sunday morning there is a market too at the bottom of the village.
Direction: Alcala del Jucar
Motorway A-3 to Madrid until Requena
Then follow N322 direction Albacete until Casa Ibanez.
Then follow the signs “Alcala del Jucar”.
