Hiking in Montanejos: a hidden gem in Valencia

Nestled in the province of Castellón, just a couple of hours from Valencia, Montanejos is a paradise for nature and adventure lovers. Known for its crystal-clear thermal waters and spectacular limestone cliffs, this hidden gem offers some of the most scenic hiking routes in the region.

One of the best routes is the Sendero de los Estrechos, a moderate trail that meanders along the Mijares River, offering breathtaking views of narrow gorges and towering rock formations. The sound of water and the occasional sight of daring climbers complete the experience.

For those who wish to explore further, the Black Cave hike is recommended. This trail winds through lush forests and rocky paths before revealing a mysterious cave carved into the cliffs. The views from the cave entrance are spectacular and well worth the effort.

After the hike, a refreshing dip in the Fuente de los Baños, the famous hot springs of Montanejos, is a must. Its warm, mineral-rich waters (around 25°C all year round) are perfect for relaxing tired muscles.

Whether you are an experienced hiker or just looking for a quiet escape into nature, Montanejos is an unforgettable destination. Grab your boots, your swimming costume and get ready to discover one of Valencia's best kept secrets.
