The Spanish King They Still Hang Upside Down - Xàtiva

In today’s video, I travel from Valencia to the historic town of Xàtiva - a place that never forgave its king. This is the town Felipe V burned to the ground, the town that still hangs his portrait upside down, and the town whose identity was shaped by fire, defiance, and centuries of memory. Along the way, I wander through festivals, explore two of Xàtiva’s museums, climb its dramatic twin‑castle fortress, and share a few personal moments from my own recovery after wrist surgery. It’s a journey through history, culture, and the small surprises that make Spain endlessly fascinating.
