Onda is a town in the province of Castellón, in Valencia. If it stands out for anything, it’s the large number of natural attractions on offer, each more stunning than the last. Not for nothing does Onda appear in the book Cantar de mio Cid making it a stop on the cultural route known as Camino del Cid.
Begin your visit to the Sichar reservoir, one of the most beautiful natural sites in the area. Spanning some 783 acres, it’s a real haven of peace and tranquillity for those who visit. Make sure do bring your swimsuit so you can take a dip in its crystalline waters. What more can you ask for on your cheap trip to Onda?
Another option is the immense Sierra de Espadán Nature Park, spanning more than 76,000 acres. It’s the ideal place to take long walks in a relaxing environment like no other. Get ready to walk along the largest forest of cork oaks in Valencia, and keep your eyes peeled for toads, eagles and even foxes and wild boar.
To learn more about the history and tradition of the town, head to the Manolo Safont tile museum, named after a famous 20th-century painter and ceramist from Onda. The museum was founded in 1968 and offers collections of pieces that range from Gothic tiles to the present day, and which will teach you all about the importance of the industry for the town.
If you prefer something more conventional for your package deal to Onda, there’s the El Carmen natural science museum. Across the museum's three floors, you’ll find numerous displays with stuffed animals, models and informative panels that will tell you all about the animal and plant kingdom.
