Sorry, but this day trip filled up in record time. Keep an eye on our website, Facebook group and your emails for new trips.
On this fabulous guided tour, you'll discover one of the lesser-known villages of the Marina Baja region, and enjoy a thrilling stroll along the famous footbridges.
We'll stroll through its cobbled streets, visit its traditional washhouse, refresh ourselves at its numerous fountains, and explore its magnificent ethnographic museum, home to an incredible collection of tools and implements from different eras.
During the tour, you'll enjoy a tasting of local products, highly prized by the locals and absolutely delicious.
The visit will continue to surprise you with its hermitage, old mills, church, and, of course, its castle of Moorish origin.
Optional upgrade: footbridge visit & hike
After the village tour and tasting, there's the option of visiting the famous Reservoir Footbridges.
Our guide will lead us on a 2 km (one way) hike, explaining the flora, fauna, and anthropological features such as lime kilns and dry stone walls.
The dam footbridge is a route made up of wooden planks cantilevered over the wall of the canyon. It has a distance of approximately 850 meters (round trip). Starting at 60m above ground, the footbridges gradually descend around 40 metres down close to the riverbed.
You'll need sensible shoes, some water, and a head for heights for this one.
It's gonna be a really great day out, and as always, great value for money too.

Your ticket includes your bus transfer, tasting session and admission to the museum.

If you want to upgrade to get a priority visit to the footbridges with the guided hike, it's just 30€ total for everything.
And non members are welcome too, so you can bring family, friends or visitors. They pay a 5€ supplement on top of the trip cost - so that's 31.50€ for the trip, and 35€ for the trip & bridge walk upgrade. If they're eligible, maybe encourage them to join us to get the u3a discount rate?
