Torrechiva

Nestled in the county of El Alto Mijares in Castellón, Torrechiva is a great destination for a spot of nature tourism. Sitting on the banks of the river, this small village is framed by scenic countryside. Come with us to explore.  

What to do in Torrechiva

The traditional historic centre of Torrechiva is characterised by its narrow, winding streets and pretty cottages, many of which still preserve the layout of old farmhouses from a bygone era. See if you can spot the 13th-century Torrechiva Tower, which now forms part of a private home.

Another must-see in Torrechiva is the simple yet elegant San Roque Parish Church, which dates back to the 18th century.

Combine a pleasant hike with some local culture by heading out into the Torrechiva surroundings in search of archeological remains. The protected archeological site Abrigos del Mojonet features Medieval dry stone walls and El Morrón Negro is another protected area worth visiting if you enjoy uncovering ancient history.

Let’s continue our history tour around Torrechiva and make our way to the Crucica del Barbero archeological site, which traces its origins all the way to the 9th century. Weave through pine trees, traditional farmhouses, patchwork fields and ravines as you soak up the great outdoors.

Otro lugar que ver en Torrechiva es su zona de piscinas naturales formadas por el río Mijares, con pozas de agua clara. ¡En verano seguro que apetece disfrutarlas! Además, seguro que se convierten en el colofón perfecto tras un día de espeleología en Torrechiva, conociendo la Cueva de los Judíos. 

Another great sight to visit while in Torrechiva is the natural pools along the river Mijares. In summer, these wild swimming spots are the ideal place to spend a lazy afternoon. What better way to round off a day exploring caves in Torrechiva at Judíos Caves than a dip in the clear waters?

Torrechiva is a place brimming with things to do and see, swept up in glorious countryside. Make this riverside village your next holiday destination. Start planning and stay up to date with what’s on in other Valencian towns and villages by following us on social media.
