The bus leaves Valencia behind and the landscape narrows: citrus groves slip past the windows, and soon the sound of water grows louder than the hum of the road. At the Algar Waterfalls you follow shaded wooden walkways where clear cascades dare you to linger; natural pools cut through limestone and invite a quick, cooling swim. Later, the village of Guadalest perches like a storybook castle on a rocky ridge—its cobbled lanes and whitewashed facades reveal centuries of borderland history, from Moorish watchposts to medieval fortifications.
