In Region of Valencia, 30 municipalities have a total of more than 22,000 moorings at sailing facilities of various types, which makes them an ideal base for sailing excursions in the Mediterranean, as well as for winter storage and refit & repair of boats. Did you know that we are the closest point to sail between the Balearic Islands and the mainland? And the closest to Madrid?
Travelling through protected natural areas, greenways and bridle paths on horseback is a unique experience, especially if you are accompanied by guides who know how to interpret the landscape and the historical resources that can be found by visiting these places in the Region of Valencia (archaeological sites, castles and fortifications from different eras, trenches from the civil war, mills, monasteries...).
Bungee jumping is one of the most exciting and adrenaline-inducing activities that can be experienced in the Region of Valencia. That said, it’s only suitable for thrill seekers and people who are not afraid of heights. For this reason, bungee jumping can only be done by people over 16 years of age.
At the heart of the Costa Blanca, where tourism is perhaps the most intense of the entire Region, it is pleasing to discover how its seabed is also among the most spectacular. So it is with the routes proposed in Altea and Benidorm, where it is possible to find little caves that never lose sight of daylight, islets full of underwater wildlife, an abundance of species only comparable in size and variety with destinations further from the coast, and endless thrilling satisfactions for lovers of marine nature.
This impressive enclave, facing the coasts of Dénia and Xàbia, is home excellent diving sites. We can find simple caves with lovely arcades and light plays as well as vertical walls that lead us down to a seabed with mazes of tunnels and grottos, where large fallen rocks provide for entertaining routes. Here, it is customary to find dusky groupers, gilt-head bream, sea bass, corbs, lobsters, toothhed bream, red scorpion fish, moray eels, octopus, sea urchins and other species. In cracks and overhangs, we can observe an abundant coral community as well as Posidonia Oceanica meadows.
The Costa del Azahar, full of orange groves with their characteristic perfume, can feel proud of its almost virgin coasts and practically deserted beaches within protected natural areas and, above all, regarding the seabed, one of the most emblematic places of the Mediterranean, the Columbretes Islands Nature Park. Situated off the coast of Castellón, the Columbretes Islands form a small paradise archipelago of volcanic origin, which owes its name [derived from the Latin “colubraria” = snake] to the onetime abundance there of snakes.
From the point of view of diving, what characterises the seaboard of the province of Valencia is the predominance of sandy beaches, very suitable for bathing and with all the facilities the user might demand, but seemingly of little interest for diving. But this is only in appearance, as moving away from the coast the seabed is found to be abundantly rocky, with little change in level, but full of life in its countless coves, crevices and cracks.
The “Silk Road” refers to a network of trade routes that are linked to the marketing of silk from China. Although silk is considered the most important product of the route, many goods were exchanged on it.
