WHAT WE LIKE MOST ABOUT THIS CULTURAL AND FOOD TOUR IN VALENCIA
Valencia is today mainly known thanks to paella, las Fallas Fiesta in March, and to the amazing City of arts that has transformed the city. But the old district of Valencia is a true gem.
This tour provides a great opportunity to enjoy and discover the secrets of the old district of Valencia, and also to enjoy a superb tapas dinner with wine tasting.
The itinerary for this history and tapas walking tour in Valencia has been carefully put together by locals to ensure you get the most out of your time. The itinerary will include stops at Mercado Central, where you will enjoy modernist architecture. This is today still today the market where many locals come for their daily food shopping. The itinerary will also include a stop next to la Lonja de Seda. This is a Unesco heritage site and one of the city´s top sights. The building dates back to the 16th century, a time in history when Valencia was a super commercial power.
The itinerary will continue through some of Valencia´s plazas, where you will enjoy religious icons like the Santa Catalina church and its high tower, or the beautiful cathedral of Saint Mary, built on the place where the old Arab mosque stood, the cathedral has an unorthodox shape and despite it is mainly gothic, it holds a peculiar mix of architectural styles.
