The students of the programme ‘Erasmus en el territorio’ will have the opportunity of discovering the city of Requena which is famous by its heritage, its viticulture landscape and its gastronomy. In order to do so, there will be local and University guides. This Saturday April 1st, the students will visit the city centre where they will see the Torre del Homenaje and the caves in which they stored wine, oil and cereals in large jars. They will also visit the Wine Museum and some wine cellars in which they will enjoy wine and cava tasting. Moreover, the students will taste the excellent typical dishes of the region Requena-Utiel.

The routes have both a training and fun aspect because there are varied activities.

The prize, which is 25€ per person, includes transport, insurance, food (local gastronomy) and guided visits both in the towns and in the routes.
