We were welcomed with coffee and local biscuits. Ana, out guide was passionate and knowledgeable about the orange farm. Tasting fr as we went along was fun and seeing how the oranges are prepared for market was interesting. The tour finished with a beautiful glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and a chance raste to buy other amazing products made from their oranges. The views were stunning also. Overall, a fantastic tour and one I would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience and learned so much. Train there takes about 40 mins from Valencia and taxi 5 mins from Carcaixent to Huberto Ribero. Be sure to check train times for return journey as we just missed one and had to wait 40 mins in the freezing cold and there is nothing, absolutely nothing at the station.
