Interesting places to see around (not in) Valencia? [closed]
What are some interesting places to see that are accessible from Valencia for a reasonable price?
I'm not looking for things in Valencia proper (suggestions are still very welcome, but it's a lot easier to google for those), but places easily accessible from Valencia by train/bus/etc. The time of visit is December, approx. 1 week.
Examples of what we find interesting (I'm only including this as a rough guideline for people who answer, as I'd expect question about this): seeing local life, possibly villages, I liked the zoo in other cities, easy hiking (as I'm not alone), local food. Examples of what I don't find interesting: nightlife.
Currently I have the choice between staying 3.5 or 6.5 days, I'd lean for 7 if I can find some things to see outside Valencia too.
Best Answer
There are many things to do outside of Valencia. If you like to walk in the nature, there are many hiking trails in the surrounding mountains, less than 50km away. Villages are also beautiful and charming. If you're looking for something different, head to the hot springs, north or Valencia and swim there. You can also dive into the local Spanish life and stop for tapas or go to a running of the bulls event, usually part of the yearly festival of any village around Valencia city.

Answer 2
I am an American living here. I have done all of these things and I recommend them 100%.
My personal favorite is the hot springs. It is called Montanejos. About an hour through some beautiful windy todas in the mountains. Crystal clear water nice and warm with even a cliff to jump off if you've got the huevos. I went in February and it was awesome.
I also stayed in guadalest once. Beautiful views and castle but I've just done the mountain, there are some rad springs to swim in with lots of waterfalls. It's very cold, I recommend going in summer. Have fun!
