That August is over, it can mean several things…
For many, the end of their vacation; for others, the beginning of theirs; back to school; a drop in temperatures (hopefully ?), and the time to plan the goals for this new stage of work.
When you start creating your action plan, Have you remembered to take time for yourself? Continue enjoying leisure as if it were summer?

2. Discover the largest navigable underground river in Europe
It is a natural beauty that cannot go unnoticed, its origin is not yet known.
Navigating through its dark and beautiful passageways full of figures, stalactites and other natural formations will leave you speechless.
It is also a good plan to take the children and get to know other areas of Valencia and learn speleology, in short, everyone enjoys it here.
Also, those who have been said that there is a surprise inside!
Are you coming to find out?

3. Get lost in the coolest markets
In September there is still a lot of movement in the city and the desire to do things and never return home…
Here we leave you some of the markets that are going to hit the most this month:
- FLEA MARKET Valencia, is an authentic alternative market where you can find all kinds of bargains and curious artifacts, don’t miss it!
- Mercado de Tapinería, AL VENT + LES TENDETES, markets dedicated to small merchants who are also committed to the principles of sustainability, unique things, handmade and with a lot of love.
- Medieval Market in Benimaclet, the atmosphere of the Benimaclet neighborhood is equal to good vibes, and the medieval market that they set up every year in the area of their particular ‘old town’ is very worthwhile! (from 15 to 18 of September)
4.- Conquer the castle of Xátiva
From its heights, you will feel like the queen/king of the world…
Will not leave you indifferent:
Through its streets, they passed from the Iberians to the Greeks, through the Phoenicians to the Romans, but it reached its greatest splendor in the Muslim era.
Lineage of culture and knowledge, cradle of the Borja Popes and the one that saw the birth of the son of Aníbal Barca.

7.- Treat yourself: get to know Utiel-Requena, the cradle of Bobal wine
Just 40 minutes from the city of Valencia, we find the towns of Utiel and Requena, the two main enclaves for the production of wine in the area: the Bobal variety.
Denomination of origin with more than 2700 years of history!
The archaeological sites found in this D.O. guarantee the production of wine and its uninterrupted marketing from the Iberian era to the present.
They are also in the process of preparing the candidacy to get the territory of the D.O. Utiel-Requena become a UNESCO World Heritage Site: both for its incredible antiquity, for its continuity throughout the centuries, and for its unique indigenous variety BOBAL.
