Valencia Day Trip: Street Art & Thermal Springs Tour

Two villages in one day: street art transformed into a village, then warm springs where you can swim.

This eight-hour private day trip from Valencia combines a guided walk through Fanzara—a medieval village turned open-air gallery with over 150 murals and graffiti works—and a riverside visit to Montanejos' thermal springs. Your private guide picks you up from your hotel, handles transport in air-conditioned comfort, and leads you through both stops with a coffee break and lunch included; you choose to swim or relax by the warm spring water at Fuente de los Baños, or simply walk the mostly flat riverside path.

The Experience

The day starts with a one-hour drive north from Valencia to Fanzara, a village that became an open-air gallery during MIAU, the "Unfinished Museum of Urban Art." Over 150 murals and graffiti pieces by international artists cover the streets—political, poetic, sometimes bizarre—woven into everyday village life rather than isolated in a museum. You wander at your own pace while your guide points out the stories behind the work, then regroup for a coffee break before heading to Montanejos.

The drive to Montanejos passes through mountain landscapes that make the journey itself part of the day. Once there, you stop for lunch, then walk a mostly flat riverside path to Fuente de los Baños, where warm spring water emerges from limestone cliffs and meets the cool mountain air. The water stays warm year-round, and the setting—surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and rock formations—is where most travelers either swim or wade in the shallows. If you bring swimwear and water shoes, the springs are deep enough to float; if you prefer to stay dry, the walk and the view are the draw.

Your private guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or one additional language, and the group stays small—either one to six people or seven to fifteen in a minibus, depending on which option you book. Transport, the guide, a local drink or snack, and entry to the bathing area in summer are all arranged; you bring a towel if you plan to swim. The return to Valencia happens after a full day, so plan to arrive back around evening.

What’s included

• Private transport from your Valencia hotel in air-conditioned comfort.
