Discover Sinarcas
Accommodation in Sinarcas
Sinarcas is one of the ten municipalities on the Utiel-Requena Wine Route. A stay here brings together wine, nature and local history: you can visit a winery, explore different natural sites or learn about the area through its museums and local traditions. The following topics offer practical ideas to help you plan your time in Sinarcas.
Wine, wineries and cuisine
Bodegas Sinarcas is a winegrowers' cooperative founded in 1937. It has 200 members, and its vineyards cover 1,000 hectares, where the Bobal grape predominates. During a visit to the winery, you can learn about the production processes, taste the wines and enjoy an aperitif featuring regional products. Booking details may change; check the specifics before your visit.
In summer, guided excursions are offered through the hills around Sinarcas and to the Iberian archaeological sites of San CristĂłbal and Carpio. The excursions end with a wine tasting. As the schedule is seasonal and may change, it is advisable to check the latest dates in advance.
Local cuisine is also part of the area's culinary identity. It includes bread and cured meats, as well as Caldereta, Gazpacho de monte, Patatas en caldo and the traditional Burruecos. Local red and rosé wines are also available. These dishes and wines offer an idea of the regional products and cuisine associated with Sinarcas.
Trails and natural sites
The PR-CV 124.1 Sinarcas–Los Cerros is a circular trail 12.80 kilometres long, with 310 metres of elevation gain. Check the current trail conditions before setting out. Another route, the PR-CV 124.2, passes through La Toba, El Regajo, Piedra de San Marcos and Las Grajas before reaching the Ermita de San Marcos. The hermitage is set in a scenic location.
Individual landscapes also showcase different natural features. Willows, poplars, ash trees and elms grow along the banks of the Barranco del Regajo. Los Lavajos comprises two small lagoons with aquatic vegetation of endemic species; the area is designated a micro-reserve. Las Hoyuelas is also characterised by typical riverside vegetation.
The Arboretum Mediterráneo is designed as an educational walking route that is accessible to everyone. Along the route, Mediterranean plant species are easy to identify. The walk thus complements the natural sites with a thematic introduction to the region's flora.
History, museums and traditions
The Iglesia de Santiago ApĂłstol dates from the 19th century. Inside is an image of the Virgen de las Campanillas. Visitors interested in local history and religious art will find two specific features here that can be explored together.
The Museo del Cereal is housed in a former flour mill built in 1935 and containing original historical machinery. Guided tours and an audio guide service are available at the museum throughout the year. Visitors can therefore choose between a guided tour and an audio guide.
The Ecomuseo del Hábitat Rural is a restored former home of a farming family in the old town of Sinarcas. It presents the home and way of life of a farming family in the late 19th century. Its focus is therefore on everyday life in a historic household, rather than the industrial processing of grain, which is the main focus of the Museo del Cereal.
The RomerĂa de San Marcos takes place on the last Saturday in April. The programme includes a pilgrimage to the Ermita de San Marcos, a picnic and dancing on the threshing floor. Check the specific event dates locally before your trip. Stained glass and copper glasswork are also crafted in Sinarcas.
