After traveling through mile upon mile of lush, fragrant orange groves, the first glimpse of Xativa (pronounced Shativa) is the impressive castle that majestically overlooks the city.
Xativa – The Lower CastleThis intriguing city, just 60km south of Valencia, bears the imprint of many different civilizations. In fact, the castle itself is an ideal place to survey the valley where once the legions of Rome marched along the Via Augusta, the main highway leading from ancient Hispania to Rome. This same valley today carries the main train line linking Xativa to Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona as well as the A7 highway to the same cities.
For history buffs, sightseers, antique collectors and lovers of the countryside Xativa offers an extraordinary range of places to visit and things to do. Few Spanish cities of its size offer so much, from exploring tangled cobblestone streets, dining in exceptional restaurants and almost always, encountering a festival or cultural event in progress.

Subbetica Natural Park - Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain
By Alan, Hotel El Cortijo La Prensa
The Subbética is a district made up of fourteen white mountain villages in the southern area of the Province of Córdoba, in the heart of Andalusia. This privileged location means that the Costa del Sol and the cities of Córdoba, Granada and Jaén are no more than an hour away,and Seville can be reached in less than two hours.
This area, with its Nature Park and protected areas, its Baroque monuments and archaeological heritage, its crafts and traditions, makes for a visit hard to forget. Under the name "Natural Park of the Subbetica Range" a beautiful and ecologically rich area can be found.
It has a surface area of 31,568 hectares, irregularly spread over eight municipalities: Cabra, Carcabuey, Doña Mencia, Iznajar, Luque, Priego de Cordoba, Rute and Zuheros. Most of them have the remains of Moorish watchtowers, castles or other antiquities.

Traveling in Spain
By Dolly "Bella" Goolsby, Bella European Adventures
I don't know whether to say buon giorno or buenos dias or bonne notte... I am so confused.
But we are having a great time in Spain. Although I don't speak the language, even Frank's Spanish is either not understood or purposely misinterpreted, as he has not gotten what he has ordered in a restaurant, several times. We think his success ration is 3 out of 5. I, on the other hand, am batting .500.
Madrid:
Madrid is so beautiful now. The sun was shining, the temperature was high of 72. Our hotel was right on Puerto del Sol, in the heart of Madrid. We only had 24 hours there, so we tried to make the most of it. As soon as we checked into our hotel, we showered, got some maps and walked to the Plaza Mayor. There were street performers out all day and into the night. Mariachis, tango dancers, mimes, a group playing Gyspsy music on zithers and a bass. In the evening, we went to a small club and enjoyed a flamenco performance. We finally got to bed around midnight, then had to get up and leave around 10 in the morning.

Hot Valencia in Sunny Spain: 318 Sweaty Men Per Hour
By Rein Van Ravenswaay, Valencia Mansion B&B, Valencia, Spain
Trendy travel-insiders will assure you when doing Europe, that it’s much more fashionable to do a weekend in Tuscany, Italy and boast about the local village vineyards... However the large Spanish cities can be a pleasant surprise!
We have all done the weekend get-aways to Madrid and Barcelona.
However many people fail to realize that Valencia (Spain's third largest city on the beach) is currently the smartest (and cheapest) destination for a few days of art, culture, food and drink, sun and sea... and of course sex.
As a result of Valencia's progressive (and lesbian!) mayor's zeal there has been large scale investment in the city's infrastructure.
