Tour description

We will visit the most emblematic places of the city and we will even wander through some place where tourists do not go, to delve into different historical periods, from the founding of the city to what Valencia is today, full of historical facts, medieval legends, dark events. , somewhat bizarre and acidic stories and a long etc., Did you know that Valencia is the only city almost surrounded by orchards from all over the world?, The Arab legacy is still present in the surroundings of Valencia, Do you want to know what we Valencians are like, How do we take life? What are our customs? . We will begin in what was one of the most strategic places in ancient Valencia, the old Turia River Bed , passing by the Serranos Towers, the main gateway to the Medieval city that would replace another. We will wander through areas of the Barrio del Carmen , my beloved and beloved neighborhood, commenting on its labyrinthine streets, historical facts, we will see the Arab wall where you least imagine it, street art , the decadence and authenticity of the 80s and 90s when it was a bohemian neighborhood and multicultural and other curiosities. We will pass by the Torre de San Bartomé or rather the orphan tower... to stay at the Palace of the Generalitat, here a question awaits you..., We will pass to one of the most beautiful squares in Valencia and I would say in the world, the Plaza de la Virgen , we will talk about its entire complex, traditions, the orchards of Valencia, celebrations, etc. In the same square we will begin to talk about the Cathedral of Valencia, a cathedral that stands out for several relevant reasons. I will not say more, we will surround it until we reach the Micalet, one of the most beloved monuments by Valencians. We will cross Plaza la Reina, passing by one of the most beautiful bell towers in the city and possibly in all of Spain, Santa Catalina to reach the Plaza Redonda complex with several curiosities, a plaza that I have been visiting since I was a child and I have also seen all its cultural transformation. From there we will talk about the entire market square, I will talk about its beginnings, its evolution and the events that were held, get ready. Next place is the Plaza del Ayuntamiento de Valencia, a square in constant transformation since its times and a meeting point for all Valencians and we will finish at the beautiful Estación del Norte , jewel of Valencian modernism. Because Valencia has a history of more than 2000 years, there will be stops where I will expand further and curiosities that come along the way that I will briefly comment on. Getting to know the city of Valencia and its surroundings would require days, weeks or months. Many stories await you. I wait for you.
