Overview

Walk in the footsteps of Gen. Hannibal & Escipión 212BC exploring the Roman fortress of Saguntum, Roman Theatre & elements of Islamic-medieval Valencia. The tour combines impressive historic sites with a Romanic themed Wine tasting + Maridaje lunch option at the foot of the amphitheatre. Wines from autóctono grapes Mourvedre, Garnacha & Moscatel were historically important from Camp de Mourvedre & our glorious tasting represents these wines in various styles. Sadly the comarca fell from it´s Roman viticultural glory to just 100hct; mainly Moscatel & only 1hct Mourvedre in 1975. The 1912 invasion of filoxera killed 90% of vines & legislation favouring citrus agriculture ended the reign of vineyards in Sagunto.
We pay homage to the Romans & the wines they exported to Rome with a tasting of select dry wines + Royal historic Fondillon aged 30+yrs with an inspiring gourmet lunch. FYI booking on Viator we pay 27% com. Booking Directly offers you a Discount Price + extras. Whatsapp to book!

Activity itinerary

Real Monasterio De Santa Maria Del Puig
  • 1h 10m
  • Admission ticket included
After pickup in Valencia we make our way to the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria del Puig, *journey time 25mins. Our guided tour of the Monastery starts 1000hrs. Background: founded by King Jaime I "The Conquerer" in 1240 it´s historical relevance is due to the definitive confrontation of Valencia, the Battle of El Puig 1237. A church was completed by 1240 & affiliated with the Mercedarian knights order. Soon the church was insufficient for the flood of pilgrims & in 1300 the present stunning Gothic church erected. In 1588 the imposing Monastery was built & we visit the cloisters; Salón Real still used by monarchs on visits to Valencia; Salón Gótico of King Jaume I with replica his sword & Salón of Ceramics. Also of importance is The National Museum of Printing & Graphic inc. collection 18thC Escuela Valenciana- highlights Frescos of Camarin de la Virgin.

  • 1h 50m
  • Admission ticket included
Arriving at Sagunto we visit many of the Roman antiquities; the Castle with Forum, Almenara Gate, Military History Museum, South Gate of Roman Circus, the colossal amphitheatre I AD, seating 4000 people being among the most impressive. As we weave our way through the old streets we view buildings & relics from the Islamic & medieval period such as the Church of Santa Maria constructed by Jaime I, Jewish quarter, baths & burial cemetery, "Ermitas" La Sangre, Magdelena & Calvary, Sagunto History Museum, Casa del Berenguer noble home & Plaza Mayor elements...passing interesting local art/craft shops on our accent to the castle. The order of our route varies. (*Journey time El Puig to Sagunto 20 mins.) This is a walking tour with inclined road to the theatre & castle. I consider it easy/moderate difficulty & is gradual accent- if one has walking problems/health issues this may be difficult but similiar to my other tours to Xàtiva & Peñiscola Castles in walking involved, visit my website!
