2025 Costera Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#europeonbudget Climbing up to Xàtiva Castle was like stepping into a time machine with a view. Perched high above the town, the twin fortresses offered sweeping vistas and centuries of layered history. Walking along the ancient walls and towers, I imagined battles, royalty, and Moorish legends echoing through the stone. The uphill trek was a workout, but totally worth it for the peaceful atmosphere and incredible photo ops. There were quiet corners to explore and plaques that told vivid stories of the past. Xàtiva Castle is a hidden gem—raw, authentic, and absolutely breathtaking. Don’t forget your water and camera! My rating: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Valencia (Region) You must visit it, it consists of two parts built in two different historical periods. It is worth exploring to learn about the centuries-old craftsmanship of the builders. The castle is on the hill. To save time and energy, I suggest taking the bus to the parking lot bus station under the castle gate. You can enjoy a great view here, and the castle also has a small museum with many interesting things. #2月好去处2025 #西班牙旅行 #瓦尔伦西亚

#100waysoftravel The xativa castle is located above the city of xativa. It was about an hour's journey. i think it is 60 km or so. I started after breakfast from my hostel. The plan was to take a train. It was quite comfortable. Took the C2 to Xativa. The town does have some things to explore besides the castle. Like the museum for instance. From the station it is quite a hike all the way to the castle. Especially when you're at the foot of that hill. Although, there are taxi options, the land train or your own vehicle, I chose to walk. This may not have been the best decision as the weather was very hot and this felt really strenuous. Once I reached the top, it was a lovely view and very pleasant. There's so much interesting history to observe as you climb and various things to see along the route. There is a Cafe at the top, along with bathroom services, as well as a couple of restaurants just before you start the climb. I didn't see anything in between. Takes about 2 hours to see both sides of the complex. #100waysoftravel #summer #spain #xativa #history #myhiddengems #summerdestinations
