You step off the coach into a canyon cut sharp against the sky; the Mijares River below dares you to follow its turquoise ribbon as cliffs throw down shade and sun. Pine-scrub slopes braid with rocky ledges, and the air smells of resin and mineral steam from the thermal springs that have drawn people here for centuries.

You step off the coach into a canyon cut sharp against the sky; the Mijares River below dares you to follow its turquoise ribbon as cliffs throw down shade and sun. Pine-scrub slopes braid with rocky ledges, and the air smells of resin and mineral steam from the thermal springs that have drawn people here for centuries.
Montanejos sits at the edge of the Alto Mijares and the Sierra de Espadán foothills, a landscape shaped by limestone erosion and river incision. Locals still tell the story of the Moorish Queen’s Baths — a legend tied to the springs’ reputed healing properties — while Roman and medieval travelers first cataloged the springs for their steady 23°C temperature. Geology is visible everywhere: vertical canyon walls, karst outcrops, and the Arenoso Reservoir pool in the valley below.
Expect a guided, moderately paced hike along marked trails and viewpoints above the river, followed by free time in the natural thermal pools at Fuentes de los Baños. The hike moves over uneven, rocky terrain with short steep sections; you’ll pass pine and Mediterranean scrub and may spot vultures wheeling above the cliffs.
Plan practical details: bring sturdy shoes, a refillable water bottle, and swimwear for the pools; the tour includes round-trip transport from Valencia and entry to the springs, but it runs about 8 hours total including travel. Avoid soaps in the spring water, follow your guide, and time your visit for morning starts to miss the hottest hours and busiest pool times.
Yes—round-trip transfers by air-conditioned coach from Valencia are included in the tour price.
Yes—the tour provides skip-the-line access to Fuentes de los Baños so you can use the pools during allocated free time.
