Enjoy a unique eclipse adventure from Valencia into the Sierra Calderona Natural Park. I’ll pick you up in the city center and drive to a peaceful mountain village for a regional lunch while we uncover local folklore—including the legend of the secret royal lover who became a feared bandit and gave the range its name.
From the 15th‑century Saint Francis of Assisi Monastery, we begin a walk towards one of the best viewpoints in the Sierra Calderona Nature Park. At the summit, we’ll settle in with a picnic, a glass of wine, and a dinner aperitif as the total solar eclipse unfolds over the Mediterranean landscape.
After this once‑in‑a‑lifetime spectacle, we descend and return comfortably to Valencia.

The Sierra de la Calderona is a stunning Natural Park located just 20 kilometers north of Valencia. Serving as the city's vital green lung, these mountains are steeped in history and folklore. The range is named after "La Calderona," a famous 17th-century actress and royal mistress who allegedly fled to these ravines to live as a legendary bandit queen. I’ll pick you up in the city center and drive to a peaceful mountain village for a regional lunch. Then from a 15th‑century Saint Francis of Assisi Monastery, we begin a 6 kilometers/3.73 miles walk with 450 meters/1480 feet of elevation gain toward one of the best viewpoints in the park. At the summit, we’ll settle in with a picnic, a glass of wine, and a dinner aperitif as the total solar eclipse unfolds over the Mediterranean landscape. After this once‑in‑a‑lifetime spectacle, we descend and return comfortably to Valencia.
