Take a 90-minute journey through centuries to the beautiful town of Xátiva -- the birthplace of two popes and the land of the Borgias.
Hear some amazing stories as you make your way up to the Castle of Xátiva. This old fortress has seen empires rise and fall, and your guide will reveal some of its many secrets. Learn about its fascinating history and its celebrity prisoners.
Heading back to town, you'll follow a special stretch of road trod by countless pilgrims through the centuries. Peek into the Seu Cathedral and the old granary and perhaps spot the legendary upside-down portrait of a not-so-popular king. You will have the chance to make a quick visit to the museum chamber of the Borgias -- the local dynasty whose power reached its pinnacle in Rome.
