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.

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.
