Love the mountains? Espadán Mijares has a real gem for nature lovers: Sierra de Espadán Natural Park, a cork oak forest full of wildlife, including amphibians, reptiles, and a wide variety of birds (such as eagles, owls, and bats). Plus, you can enjoy spectacular hiking trails through leafy forests, crossing and traversing rivers and ravines and climbing to peaks of over 1,000m altitude. We recommend the Senderos de los Sentidos in Aín and Villamalur.

Rivers and expanses of water are also widespread in Espadán-Mijares. For example, in the Sitjar Reservoir located in Ribesalbes, you can go kayaking and paddle surfing or enjoy an interpretive trail with a guide. The Mijares River also offers opportunities for rafting and thrilling river descents.

Looking for a more unique experience? Then the best option for you is wet caving in the subterranean river depths of Toro Cave in Alcudia de Veo, where you can see lakes, waterfalls, and wild rock formations created by water erosion over millions of years. We also recommend a visit to Tía Cantina Cave and Mahoma Cave in Sueras and Eulogio Cave in Tales, among many others.

If you're adventurous, don't miss canyoning in the Catalán ravine (Pozo Negro) in Fuentes de Ayódar, Turio ravine in Fanzara, the Carboneras and Cañón del Río Chico ravines in Espadilla or La Covatilla ravine in Aín. And for the bravest among you, the climbing opportunities might appeal even more. The Chalavasar climbing area, in Fanzara, has a most unusual wall allowing for a multitude of climbing styles and the La Peña Zamela climbing area in Ayódar has significant sporting, environmental, and scenic value.
