What to see in la Vall d'Uixó
Vall de Uxó, about 41 km from Valencia in the Plana Baja, is a city of 32,242 residents at the foot of Espadán. It joins the plain old centre with the castle hill and the Roman aqueducts, and keeps nearby the Sant Josep caves, the natural draw of the municipality.
Uxó Castle, 10th-century over a 400-metre hill, looks over the valley from Espadán. Below, the Baroque church of the Asunción keeps a 17th-century altarpiece under its Valencian tiled dome, and the Archaeology Museum orders the finds from the castle and the valley. The Roman aqueducts of San José and Alcudia and the second church of Santo Ángel complete the municipality. The city, of 32,242 residents, joins plain and range at the foot of Espadán. The old centre is walked between the Asunción and the museum, and the castle asks for a climb on foot, with water and walking shoes. The San José and Alcudia aqueducts are seen in the municipality, among fields. The visit takes half a day, between old centre and hill.
