San Antonio: Wine, Culture and Nature

In San Antonio, Dominio de la Vega takes visitors through a winery and the vineyards; the guided tours include commented tastings of wines and cavas. A holiday apartment in San Antonio can be incorporated into personal planning with regard to the travel period and apartment category. The cancellation conditions are another item of accommodation information, while wineries, culture, festivals and nature trails describe the local themes of the stay and offer different focal points for planning each day.

Wine and Regional Produce

Dominio de la Vega’s Nuestras Raíces experience combines a winery visit and tasting with a lunch featuring typical regional produce. Casa del Conde, a winery dating from the late 19th century in San Antonio de Requena, was carefully restored by Dominio de la Vega; its original wine presses and underground wine tanks have been preserved. A visit to Chozas Carrascal leads to an old winery built in 1870, which preserves the former wine-making tanks. The classic experience includes a guided tour of a winery, a tasting of four wines, Mirall de la Terra extra virgin olive oil and typical regional produce.

Culture

The Church of San Antonio replaced the original church, which had been built in the 15th century, and preserves its bell tower. The García Berlanga Theatre was built in 1914. The restoration of the García Berlanga Theatre carried out in 2007 helped promote cultural life in San Antonio. The Chimenea de la Alcoholera in San Antonio is subject to comprehensive protection.

Festivals

The patron-saint festivities in honour of Saint Anthony of Padua take place in San Antonio in mid-June; they include processions and open-air dances, among other events. On 17 January, Saint Anthony the Abbot is honoured in San Antonio with a large bonfire, followed by a communal dinner.

Nature and Trails

The Turia-Cabriel nature trail crosses the Magro River at San Antonio de Requena. Route downloads in GPX and Google Earth formats are available for the Siete Aguas–Jaraguas section. Stage 2 of the nature trail has two sections that are potentially at risk of seasonal flooding; this can occur during rainy periods or when water flow is increased.

For planning each day, the information can be read separately: the GPX and Google Earth downloads concern preparation for the Siete Aguas–Jaraguas section, while the station’s daily opening hours provide separate time-based orientation for a stay in San Antonio de Requena.

San Antonio de Requena station has daily opening hours from 05:51 to 22:01.
