Traiguera & Cervera del Maestre Guided Tour

At 8:45 am, we'll meet at the Benicassim Tourist Office and take a bus to Traiguera. Here, we'll visit an estate of thousand-year-old olive groves and discover how the Valencia region's 'liquid gold' is produced.

We'll walk through the orchards and admire the Sinfo Olive Tree, one of the oldest in Europe, which in 2018 won the prize for the best monumental olive tree. We will learn about their cultivation and attend an olive oil tasting accompanied by typical cold meats.

After the tasting, we'll continue by bus to Cervera del Maestre. We will head to the Oil Mill Visitor Centre to explore more traditions related to olive groves. Following our visit, we will spend about 1 hour touring Cervera del Maestre, known for its medieval castle, which was built as a fortress against Christian troops during Spain's Reconquest.

Our last stop will be back in Traiguera, at the Royal Sanctuary Virgen Fuente de la Salud. This monument, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, is noted for its royal classification in Castellón. We will discuss its origins linked to Charles V while examining the complex elements, including the hostelry, priests' house, kitchens, and chapel.

The day trip will conclude between 2:15 pm and 2:45 pm back at the meeting point.
