Castillo de Xátiva

The girls and I ended our wonderful weekend with a trip to Xátiva, Spain. It was a 50 minute train ride on the C-2 train (from Xativa station) and cost us 7.20 euro round trip!

When we got to Xativa on this cool, foggy sunday morning, we quickly learned from the Tourism office that there's nothing much to do on a Sunday afternoon except subir (go up) to the castle... and eat.  So that's precisely what we did.

Addie and I chose the overachiever route of walking up the mountain, and Margaux opted for the touristic train. The walk took us about 45 minutes at a brisk pace.

The views were amazing despite a slight haze. I could have stayed up there for days except for the fact that we would starve because the restaurant wasn't serving food and I learned the hard way not to eat the olives from the trees.
