Las galerías subterráneas en el centro histórico de Utiel, the underground tunnels in the historic centre of Utiel, are one of the destination’s most fascinating sights. Some of them date all the way back to medieval times.

Presently, there are about 240 underground tunnels in the historic centre of Utiel. Of this impressive number, a handful are open to visitors. They’re a joy to explore. Venture under the surface and you’ll discover one of the most hidden parts of the centre, which lies under alleys whose layout hasn’t changed since Muslim times. This gives you an idea of the importance of the infrastructure for the destination.

Many of these tunnels were used as cellars, a logical step given Utiel’s century-old role as a great wine producer. Today, the area is a fantastic wine tourism destination.
