eading toward the deep canyons of the Mijares River. The Hike: The Maimona Ravine We kick off the day with an "epic" hike—this isn't just a stroll! We’ll navigate the trails of the Maimona Ravine. As we ascend, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of limestone cliffs towering 300 meters above the riverbed. It’s the perfect opportunity for photography and feeling the raw power of Spanish nature. The Reward: Fuente de los Baños After working up a sweat, we descend to the famous thermal springs.
