Pocket knives

Explore the Modernist Villas (known as “Huertos”), visit the Salto de la Novia scenic spot, the Arab tower of Altomira, the Baño fountain… there are many attractions in our small town. Here we present 5 routes prepared by the Tourist Office, ranging from just 1.5 km to 11 km, which will allow you to discover the natural and cultural beauty of Navajas. If you’re short on time, the Fountains Route is a must, as it lets you see the fountains and waterfalls from a unique perspective. And if you’re up for a good walk, the circular route around the Regajo Reservoir is highly recommended, as it takes in Navajas’ main points of interest, such as its century-old elm tree (voted Spain’s best tree in 2019), the Altomira Tower, and the Salto de la Novia, as well as offering the chance to enjoy a section of the Ojos Negros Greenway, the surroundings of the Regajo Reservoir, the Fuente del Baño (where the old spa was located), and the medicinal waters of the various springs found along the Palancia River.

Segorbe

The capital of Alto Palancia, just 3 km from Navajas, welcomes countless tourists drawn by its history and cultural heritage. Highlights include the Castle (recently renovated into a fortress), the Cathedral, the Aqueduct, the Towers, the City Walls, the Olive Oil Museum, and the Old Town, which has been designated a Site of Cultural Interest.

Eight routes developed by the Tourist Office start in Segorbe; these include both urban and nature trails (ranging from 2 to 15 km) that wind through the Sierra Calderona, allowing you to explore farmhouses, lagoons, springs, centuries-old olive trees, and mountain peaks

Jerica and Viver

The historic center of Jérica, with its Mudejar tower and castle, is probably one of the most beautiful towns in Castellón. It’s well worth exploring its historic center, which has been designated a Site of Cultural Interest, as well as La Vuelta de la Hoz, a natural landscape formed by a bend in the Palancia River.

In El Viver, we recommend visiting Floresta Park, with its hanging houses and the El Sargal area along the river, from where you can see the caves that served as shelter for the area’s earliest settlers, from the Upper Paleolithic through the Neolithic periods. The pools formed by the river are perfect for swimming in the summer. Another recommended route is the one that takes you through the Roman Villa and the Ojos del Prao, connected by an underground river.

Geldo

We’ve included a visit to the small town of Geldo (1 km from Segorbe) so you can explore the Palace of the Dukes of Medinaceli, a 14th-century fortress that has been recently renovated, and, above all, take the Mural Painting Trail—a true open-air museum that you won’t want to miss and that you can explore using QR codes

The 1893 Boutique Hotel is the perfect place to discover the natural beauty of the entire region. In addition to the Salto de la Novia waterfall and the Regajo Reservoir, Navajas is situated between two major natural parks: the Sierra de Espadán and theSierra Calderona, both full of trails and points of interest (such as the Alcornocal de la Mosquera, Pico del Garbí, La Rápita and Espadán, the ice houses where ice for Valencia was once produced, Arab castles, Carthusian monasteries, and windmills).

That's why we're introducing you to towns, trails, and hikes you can enjoy at your own pace.

There are three major routes that pass through Navajas:

The Route of the Grail stretches 120 kilometers, divided into 7 stages, running from Barracas, on the border with Aragon, to the Cathedral of Valencia. This pilgrimage will allow you to experience the rich cultural and natural heritage of the towns along the route.

The Camino del Cid follows in the historical footsteps of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, El Cid Campeador. Through *The Song of El Cid*, we learn about the landscapes, places, and castles he visited during his conquests. This route, stretching over 2,000 km, is divided into numerous sub-routes. Navajas is part of the Route of the Conquest of Valencia, which runs from Cella in Teruel to Valencia and is divided into 12 stages (248 km in total). Our hotel is a stamping point on the Camino del Cid.

In addition, the Ojos Negros Greenway, which runs through the region, is just a few meters from the hotel and is perfect for tackling in stages or for a few hours’ walk. This route, which follows the track of the old mining railway, is over 160 km long, making it the longest Greenway in Spain.
