About this tour
Spend eight hours escaping Valencia's urban sprawl to soak in Montanejos' year-round warm mineral pools, then trek to the Novia waterfall for summer bathing. Your private shuttle whisks you north through countryside, where a local guide shares the region's character before you slip into naturally heated waters renowned for their therapeutic properties. The mineral-rich springs ease tired muscles; the waterfall offers a cooler counterpoint and photo-worthy drama.

- Warm mineral thermal springs active every season
- Local guide contextualises geology and village history
- Novia waterfall swim (summer months)
- Private air-conditioned shuttle from city centre

- Express-lane entry, no queuing
What to expect
You'll depart Valencia in a comfortable vehicle heading inland towards the foothills. Upon arrival in Montanejos, your guide introduces you to the thermal pools—steaming ponds with a distinctly Southeast Asian character, though thoroughly Spanish in setting. The water stays bathwater-warm year-round thanks to natural heating. Plan 2–3 hours soaking and swimming here. In warmer months, the group travels separately to the Novia waterfall, a cascading drop set in a canyon where the water runs cold and clear; another hour's activity there. Return journey allows time to dry off and decompress.
Good to know
Bring swimwear, towel, and waterproof bag. The thermal pools are accessible year-round; the waterfall visit depends on summer water levels. No lunch provided—eat beforehand or pack snacks. Hotel collection not included; meet at the designated Valencia departure point.
