Come and explore the ruins of an old castle sitting in one of Jávea’s prettiest cliff areas. The perfect place to soak up the history of the Region of Valencia.

Torre La Granadella, La Granadella Tower in Jávea, overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. The site has a long history behind it and makes an excellent destination for a hiking trail caressed by the sea breeze.

Also known as Granadella Castle, the tower was constructed close to La Granadella Cove in the 18th century and has overlooked this strategic point ever since. It is constructed with two sides of ashlar that are filled with masonry and in its time was a fort that housed canyons. This small castle is almost certainly built on older remains, which were used by a number of civilisations.

Difficult to get to, La Granadella Tower was an ideal spot for surveillance and defence, though this is no longer the case: you can now reach the tower by walking a hiking trail. Since it has been cleaned up, it makes a great destination for an excursion in Jávea.

There are three different trails for you to choose from: one is 1.6 km long, another is 5.6 km long and the longest is 13.4 km. Whichever route you choose, you are sure to love exploring this spot.

So how about it? Fancy coming to visit La Granadella Tower?
