History on the Hill: Conquering Xàtiva Castle 🇪🇸

#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!
