Xátiva

There are few skies as blue as Valencia’s. The bright light seems to make Xátiva even more beautiful. It looks like a storm of golden rain has washed the city, polishing its bronzes and its domes.

It’s essential to walk through Xátiva from the tree-lined Selgas avenue to Moncada street. Once there, you can admire the splendid ancestral houses and then loose yourself in the narrow streets of the old quarters. At the beginning of the 17th century, Xátiv was burnt and almost destroyed, but is still able to conserve some magnificent medieval buildings. Despite being enclosed and unorganized, the structure of the houses are very vivid and painteresque.
