About this tour
A half-day excursion from Valencia to Montanejos, where natural thermal springs bubble up warm and mineral-laden at the foot of forested hills. You'll soak in waters long prized for skin and digestive benefits, with an air-conditioned minibus handling the drive there and back. The setting feels distant from Spain—more Southeast Asian in character—yet sits comfortably within reach of the city. A local guide walks you through the geology and lore; safety gear and floats are provided.

What to expect
The tour departs Valencia by minibus and travels roughly an hour into the interior. On arrival, you'll enter a natural basin where thermal water pools year-round at around 25°C—warm enough to feel restorative but not hot. The springs sit in a narrow valley with dense forest rising on either side; the sense of remoteness is genuine despite the proximity to the city. You'll have roughly two hours in and around the water. Bring swimwear; facilities are basic but functional. The guide explains the mineral composition and local history while you float and soak. Children's toys and flotation aids make it accessible for families and weaker swimmers.
