Climbing Castles and Catching Views

#summervacay Alright, if you're anywhere near Xàtiva you have to check out Xàtiva Castle. It's this massive fortress that sits way up on a hill, and trust me, the views are worth every step. You can either hike up (hello, leg day) or grab a quick drive or tourist train to the top. Once you’re up there, it’s all stone walls, towers, and ancient vibes. It’s like stepping into a movie set, with crumbling courtyards, epic photo ops, and history carved into every corner. The castle is actually two castles in one, there’s a “small” one and a “big” one, and you can wander all over both. Take your time, bring water, and definitely don’t forget your camera. There’s also a cute café up there for a snack break with a killer view. Overall? Super fun, super scenic, and a must-do if you’re vibing around Xàtiva. Medieval adventures? Yes, please.
