Spain

Description

With this tour you can dive deep into the history, art, culture, traditions, myths, and legends of the third-largest city in Spain. Explore the famous historic center of Valencia: the imposing Tribunal de las Aguas, 16th-century marvels such as the Lonja de la Seda, or the modernist Mercado Central. You'll start in the city's heart, surrounded by the Basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados and the Cathedral, which hides the Holy Grail inside. Then you'll continue, moved by the influence of the Turia River, to the Tribunal de las Aguas, the oldest justice institution in Europe, whose rules and traditions have been passed down from century to century to the present day, where it is still in full force and has been inscribed by UNESCO as Intangible Heritage of Humanity. But Valencia is much more! Its captivating streets smell of orange blossoms and tell us about a rich past, legends, curiosities, tradition, heritage and a lively folklore... That's why you'll delight in the hustle and bustle of the Mercado Central, with all its stalls full of fresh, top-quality food. Take a break enjoying some tapas in the sun on one of its terraces and continue with the Lonja de la Seda, a jewel of civil Gothic architecture.
