Seven days out of Valencia, from the Mercat Central to the rice fields of the Albufera, an underground river at Vall d'Uixo, the hot springs at Montanejos, and the Costa Blanca down to Alicante.
We run private tours for your group out of Valencia and out of Alicante, guided in English, Lithuanian or Spanish. A day out covers the Valencia old town and the Mercat Central, the Albufera lagoon and El Palmar, the underground river at the Coves de Sant Josep, the hot springs at Montanejos, or the Costa Blanca towns of Dénia, Calpe and Alicante. La Sirena Vacations holds Comunitat Valenciana licence Nº CV-AVC002748-V and books the coach, the guide, the restaurants and the tickets under that licence.

The walk runs from Ciutat Vella to the Mercat Central and the cathedral, with the Llotja de la Seda across the square. The Micalet bell tower takes 207 steps to the terrace, so we tell groups in advance who wants the climb. The coach then runs to Alboraya for horchata de chufa and fartons among the tiger nut fields.
The CV-500 crosses the rice fields to El Palmar, where the group boards a flat-bottomed albuferenc boat on the lagoon, 2,394 hectares of open water about one metre deep. Lunch is paella valenciana in an El Palmar arrocería, and the Racó de l'Olla visitor centre at CV-500 km 10.5 holds the bird hide over the lagoon.
At La Vall d'Uixó boatmen pole the group along the underground river at the Coves de Sant Josep, 800 m by boat and 250 m on foot at a steady 20 C, so bring a layer even in August. The coach then climbs the Mijares valley to Montanejos, where the group bathes at the Fuente de los Baños and stops at the mirador over the Estrecho de Chillapájaros.
The AP-7 runs 105 km south from Valencia. Groups climb to the Moorish castle and the Palau del Governador museum, then walk the fishing port for the evening llotja auction. The Montgó massif stands above the town at 753 m inside a natural park of 2,117.68 hectares, declared in 1987.
The Peñón de Ifach rises 332 m over the sea inside a 45 hectare park, the smallest natural park in Spain. Groups walk the isthmus path from the interpretation centre, watch the flamingos on Les Salines de Calp, and see the Roman fish tanks at the Baños de la Reina.
The Postiguet tunnel lift climbs Mount Benacantil to Santa Bárbara castle, 166 m above the sea, through a 205 m tunnel. The walk down runs through the Barrio de Santa Cruz to the Explanada de España mosaic and the marina. Alicante-Elche airport sits 20 minutes away for the flight home.
Fallas runs from 1 March, and the week that matters is 15 to 19 March: the monuments go up on the night of 15 March and burn on the night of 19 March, the feast of Saint Joseph. The mascletà fires at two in the afternoon in the Plaça de l'Ajuntament every day from 1 to 19 March, and UNESCO listed Fallas in 2016. Valencia sells out for that week, so ask about March dates a year ahead.
Six nights in three hotels, three and four star, twin share, breakfast every morning. We name the hotels in the written quote once the dates are fixed, because availability decides them.

No fixed departures. You bring the group, we set the week around your dates.
The coach, the driver and the guide cost the same for ten travellers as for thirty, so a price starting at one figure would describe a group nobody travels in.
We quote the group you bring, once we know the dates, the number of travellers and the guiding language. One final figure for the group.
