What to see in Andilla
Andilla, about 55 km from València, is a Serranía village with about 300 residents and two cores, Andilla and La Pobleta. The old quarter keeps a walled gate and a compact mountain village.
The 15th-century Asunción church, a listed cultural asset, holds eight paintings by Francisco Ribalta. Above La Pobleta, the castle and walls lie ruined by the Santa Inés chapel. The Las Picarazas dig, with human remains from 1.3-1.5 million years ago, is a research site, not a visit.
The visit links the Andilla church with the walk to La Pobleta and the hilltop castle. The village keeps the walled gate of the old quarter and Serranía hills to walk. The Las Picarazas dig is not visited: it is a research centre.
