The Region of Valencia is defined by its diverse and extraordinary landscapes. Mountain chains meet beaches, inland villages contrast with seaside towns, cities are filled with traditions and innovations. The county of Requena-Utiel conceals one of these exceptional places: Villargordo del Cabriel.
Sitting on the banks of the Cabriel river and the border between Castilla-La Mancha and the Region of Valencia is Villargordo del Cabriel, a municipality characterised by the different civilisations that have lived there throughout its long history. The Iberians, Romans and Arabs occupied the village, leaving behind a unique and permanent mark of their time there.
