In Castellon province, 45 minutes north of Valencia, your guide will take you on a boat ride along longest subterranean river in Europe that flows through the caves of Sant Josep in the Vall d’Uixo, where you can see the natural cathedrals of Spain: Her caves, beautifully lit up as you journey into the center of the mountain.

If you decide to opt for the orange-picking excursion, you guide will take you to family-owned orange groves to pull fresh oranges from the trees and discuss the secrets of the old Moorish citrus trade.
