He went along with our group when we wanted to stop for a swim, taught us a bit about the area and let us go at our own speed. The quaint restaurant was perfect at the end for a cold and well deserved drink. We would recommend a good pair of hiking shoes/sneakers, sunscreen and water.”

An overview of the day, expectations, and hints on how not to slip, like turning the foot sideways and ifmoration about the region were all given by fellow travellers or prompted by all of us.

13.Valencia Day Trip with Swimming and Hiking in Montanejos

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 14 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $57

Travel from Valencia to Montanejos for time at the Fuente de los Baños spring and an optional guided hike above the Mijares River. The spring flows at 6,000 litres per minute and stays near 25°C year-round. A tour leader such as Veronika may help coordinate the day, but bring sturdy walking shoes and water shoes for the rocky river entry.

“Veronika was hands down the most organised tour leader we’ve ever had and it made life so much easier. Pre tour she sent out a confirmation and also set up a voluntary WA group. She was friendly, professional and responsive. A credit to your company. Also a nod to the driver who wrangled those mountainous turns and some narrow town lanes with top gear level driving skills (we missed her name but thank her also). The river was busy (as expected), but full of happy families and such a place of natural beauty and what clear water.”
