Short version: Waterfall, hot springs, and a surprise stop at a hydroelectric dam. Fun!…read more Long version: The waterfall was very pretty and just what the wife was looking to see. The river with the hot spring was also really nice, though it might have been more accurate to call it a "lukewarm spring" since the water coming out of it was actually cooler than the river on a hot Valencia summer day. Lunch was delicious. The hydroelectric dam was cool - periodically they let off a big burst of water to relieve pressure the result is a lot of rainbows. It started raining on the walk back from that and we were very glad to get back to the bus. As for Mike the tour guide, he's a good dude - funny, friendly, and didn't give us grief when we were a couple minutes late because of an issue with our hotel. Be aware that you will spend half the day in the car going to and from the locations, but that's to be expected on a tour like this. Overall it was a lot of fun. Highly recomended.

Highly recommend! My 14 year old nephew, 18 year old niece and I went on the Hot Springs tour the…read morelast week of March with Mike. It was so nice to get into nature after touring a few of Spain's big cities. We were joined by 4 other travelers who also seemed to have a great time. Before we got to the springs, we went to various locations that offered stunning views of valleys, a romantic "lovers leap" pond, and a totally cool dam that was spouting vast amounts of water. Lots of opportunities for teenage kids to run up and down mountains and boulder hop - they were in heaven! There was no one but us at any of the stops. It was raining but I'm guessing that even on the most beautiful day, there wouldn't be many people. In addition to the beautiful locations, the customer service was fabulous. They picked us up (we were jet lagged and still sleeping when they arrived, but Mike was totally gracious when we came out!) and dropped us off - no having to find a location in a big city! When we finally made it to the springs, Mike was prepared with wet suits and masks for our dip into the water. He even had umbrellas for us. Mike was hilarious and knowledgable, obviously a nature guy who enjoys sharing his special spots. When in Valencia, Do!Valencia - you won't regret it.

Eddy P' s explanation on how to get to this spot was perfect!…read more I would just like to add for Ibiza newbs (like me last summer) that you should plan to get there 30-60 minutes Before sunset! I was there at the end of August, and there is definitely traffic heading there from San Antonio right before sunset. There was also a LOT of people there during sunset. You can definitely still find a nice spot on the cliffside for yourself, but parking was hard to find. Basically, I found a spot about .5 mi from the view point, on the long dirt road leading to this spot. Many people were parked further than that, I got a little lucky. And if you arent used to driving stick-shift, navigating the hilly road can be difficult with a manual car. I ended up missing the actual sunset by 10 min, but the view is still gorgeous after :)

I know there is a listing for "Es Vedra" on here already HOWEVER that is pinned on the actual…read moreisland itself. What the people want is the location of the beautiful view point you see in tons of photos . So allow me to share that right now so you too can experience it as I did last week =) The absolute BEST time to go is for sunset . A handful of people gather here to watch it so show up a little early to get a good spot. Stop by a market on the way to grab snacks and drinks to enjoy! Also maybe something to sit on like a blanket so your clothing doesn't get dirty. Maybe go earlier then that to make sure you find it OK. There's no actual address for the view point . As you drive down Cala d'Hort, you'll reach a 4 way uncontrolled intersection confusingly named Cala d' Hort as well -__-. Turn left onto the dirt road with garbage bins along the side of it (there's like 6 large garbage bins ) go down the dirt road . I had a scooter and was fine . It will get bumpy but it's fairly smooth dirt just take your time there's no rush. All cars can make it too. Follow the dirt road. You'll come face to face with a house property with a fence, go slightly right since its blocked off to go left (I think the owners blocked it). Eventually you'll turn slight left once you reach a narrow road in between brush and tress (don't go down there). You'll end up at a somewhat open area to park . *If you don't feel comfortable finding it yourself , you can always wait for a car or scooter to turn in and follow them* . Then walk toward the water / Es Vedra! You'll reach a flat lower area at the cliff of a clear and unobstructed view of Es Vedra (see attached photo ). I witnessed someone propose here that's how magical it is! I watched the sunset here the first night If you are facing Es Vedra and look left up the hill you'll see a slightly higher view point . Walk up the dirt path along the cliff (I did it in flip flops (changlas ) . Here you'll get another beautiful view ! (See attached photos ). I watched the sunset here the second and third night. But wait, there's more! I came a few hours early and walked the dirt trail even higher to the castle at the top top of the hill. It's a workout and you will get sweaty! I did it in my sandals haha not recommended. The view is amazing ! (See attached photos ). A must see when in Ibiza ! I really hope this helped ! I want to share this magical experience with Yelpers since I originally found this on Trip Advisor haha! P.S if you see a drone on the side of the cliff over the edge, it's mine =( R.I.P haha.

Guadalest is a tourist trap that offers a range of stuff to do and see here. Mainly the landmark,…read moreviews are beautiful and of course the old castle that has a lot of history to tell. Guadalest has a lots of museums like microminiatures, toys and dolls, old motorcycles and cars, shakers and pepper, ethnological, medieval, cats and more. Some of the museums are free to visit. Then there are a lot of restaurants and tourist shops. I think we spent around 4-5 hours before we took and then of course we didn't visit all the museums and shops. It can be hard to find a vacant parking lot, and probably even more difficult in the high tourist seasons, the parking cost €2 cash, if you park at the official municipality parking. You'll surely take some nice photos here and remember your visit to this place for a long time.

Popular place all year round, although the swimming season starts end of May and ends middle October. Charming seafront promenade with some cafes, like this one: https://www.yelp.com/biz/sunrise-punta-prima There's a newly built seafront apartment complex with many apartments available for short time rentals - Sea Senses. More expensive than average but the location and the views are really great. Nautilus restaurant is one of the most reviewed businesses on Yelp in this area (I never visited): https://www.yelp.com/biz/nautilus-torrevieja-4 Many other restaurants are within a few minutes walk. Overall - a great area to stay for vacations. Click "view business" to see some pictures.

The main square where San Martín Church and the Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) are located. - San Martín Church. Built in 1493. Opens around 5 or 6 pm on weekdays. Absolutely worth visiting. Amazing statures and wall paintings inside. Too bad my battery went off at the moment I entered the church :) https://www.yelp.com/biz/iglesia-de-san-mart%C3%ADn-callosa-de-segura - San Roque Church. A church on a hill with great views to the town, the mountains and the area. 20 minutes walk from Plaza de España and San Martín Church https://www.yelp.com/biz/santuario-de-san-roque-callosa-de-segura - The Sierra de Callosa de Segura mountains. The highest point is Àguila (572 m / 1,877 ft) and you can climb up there. I didn't and I'm not sure how difficult such a climb would be but the photos from there are very impressive. An adventure for later! https://www.yelp.com/biz/sierra-de-callosa-de-segura-callosa-de-segura No serious shopping in town - all locals go to Torrevieja, La Zenia, Murcia etc. There's a train station in Callosa de Segura, you can easily get here by train from Alicante and Murcia. The best time to visit is at sunset when the narrow streets of the hilly town look absolutely fantastic! Sure, Callosa de Segura is one of the unfairly underrated places on the Costa Blanca. The tourism info office was closed in the middle of the high tourist season (because of the lack of tourists?). The city doesn't look abandoned, the central square and the town are clean, all central areas are well kept. It's a mystery how this town was not crowded in August and this is exactly why you should visit! A hidden gem just 20 minutes drive from the crowded coast!
