Vilafamés & Cuevas de San José
Caves of San José & Vilafamés
Cuevas de San José (San José caves)
Are you ready to see the longest underground river in Europe? An Erasmus student certainly can’t miss this experience! The rocky landscapes of approx 2.5 km length will leave you speechless. It maintains the temperature of + 20ºC and is considered the longest navigable underground river in Europe. The Caves, which sometimes are called “the heart of the earth” are full of stalactites and stalagmites, also some cave drawings that you can enjoy during the boat ride. After some reconstructions and light installation in 1920’s the route became safe to visit for tourists. A unique place to visit for sure!
VILAFAMÉS
If you ever asked yourself what a typical Spanish town looks like, you shouldn’t miss Vilafamés! It joined the list of Spain’s Most Beautiful Towns in 2015. Vilafames is a town painted in palate of rustic browns and whitewashed hues with streets filled with history, culture, gastronomy and relaxing atmosphere.
Vilafamés stands out for its old town which is of Arab origin, dating back to the 11th century as well as its castle on the hill above the city that was built in 14th century and was a strategic location during the wars. Rock stone predominates in all of the constructions of the old town, likewise historical set of Vilafamés is declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2005. In 1938 some of the old town was destroyed by warplanes during the Spanish Civil War. However in the 1970’s painters discovered the town, fell in love with it, and started to reconstruct it to its current glory.
You can’t miss a visit to this idyllic town with narrow streets and charming houses!
