Tour description
Valencia is a sun-drenched surprise on Spain’s Mediterranean coast: a city where the medieval quarter of silk merchants and Gothic markets stand alongside one of Europe’s boldest examples of modern architecture. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city’s historic heart, from its Roman origins to the golden age when Valencian silk dressed royal courts throughout Europe.
You will visit the cathedral said to house the Holy Grail, admire the splendid Gothic silk exchange, and stroll through markets bursting with Mediterranean colors. Along the way, you will hear the story of how the old river was transformed into a ribbon of parkland winding through the city, and why Valencia is considered the true birthplace of paella.
