Description
Welcome to Spain's third largest but perhaps most underdiscovered city, giving you access to everything from history, culture, stunning architecture, beaches and world class parks. Its creative international energy mixes with the old and modern of Spanish cultures along with its unique regional Valencian customs in a special way, from its fabulous festivals to its renowned cuisine, makes the Valencia lifestyle hard to replicate anywhere. With over 300 days of sun on average a year, no wonder Valencians and its residents are so positive and it is continuously voted one of the best cities to live in Europe.
Connect with Valencia like a native by understanding the deep roots of its history on a sensory visit, experiencing the tangibility, smells and tastes of bygone eras. With a local expert, take this walking crash course of 2000 years of Valencian and Spanish history in two hours, and see how it affects world history at large and perhaps even your own personal past. Exploring the gothic quarter and the most emblematic highlights, you will feel a connection to Valencia through the stories related to you. From tribal Iberian to Roman, Medieval and modern times, you will be amazed at the secrets lying in the walls, stones and plazas that you could easily miss without this active, fun and expertly curated visit. We finish at the Central Market, sampling the tastes of history, and mentally digest the vast past of the old kingdom of Aragon.
