What to do in Almedíjar

Wandering around the centre of Almedíjar, which is surrounded by mountains, is an experience in itself. Whitewashed walls and narrow streets tell the story of a long past. On your explorations, you will come across pretty ceramic panels dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The ruins of the Almedíjar Walls, dating back to the medieval period, can still be seen in arches and other parts of the present-day village. Make sure you set aside some time to visit Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles Parish Church.

And that’s not all there is to see in Almedíjar. There is also a large irrigation pool, plenty of trails and walks, and fascinating areas and monuments like the ruins of El Castillet. We recommend bringing all the kit you’ll need to explore.

From here you’ll be able to see El Monte de la Rodana Castle, which sits atop a mountain that can be seen from a great distance within Sierra de Espadán. The ruins of the castle may be small, but they speak of a long history, as the site was once inhabited by the Iberians and the Romans, from whom there are some remains.

The walk to the castle is an incredible hiking route that passes along a section of an old Roman road (this is signposted).

Other hikes that you can enjoy in Almedíjar will lead you to the pretty Moorish aqueducts, where you’ll find yourself reaching for your camera, and other signposted itineraries like Los Oficios Route, a trail with information panels that will take you to an enchanting cork oak forest. Oh, and don’t forget to try the cheeses in Almedíjar – they are absolutely delicious!
