Xàtiva is a beautiful town 63 kilometers southwest of Valencia. Once there, visit the ancient fortress on the hill that dates back to Roman times. The fortress has two medieval castles that mix Gothic and Islamic architecture. Nature lovers can walk the Cova Negra trail, while history lovers can see the medieval monuments around town. Try arroz al horno, a popular rice dish that will give you a taste of Xàtiva.
