Villafamés Day Trip

At 3:30 pm, we'll meet outside the Oropesa del Mar Tourist Office to start the trip. We will travel by minibus for 30 minutes to Villafamés.

Upon arrival, we'll begin a guided tour of the historic centre of the village, designated a Site of Cultural Interest. The tour will highlight how its strategic location on a hill has influenced its history.

We will see the façade of the church of La Asunción, the characteristic stone houses, and the castle from the time of Muslim rule. Additional historical context will be provided about these buildings.
