“Pas à la regio que’avança en marxa triomfal!”
(Hymn of Valencia, Maximiliano Thous)

Valencia, "Cap i casal"

Backed by more than 2000 years of history, the 3rd city of Spain is a melting pot of cultures, and houses among its demolished walls remains of Iberians, Romans, Carthaginians, Visigoths, Muslims, Jews and Christians, in contrast to the futuristic buildings of the City of Arts and Sciences, which have been set for several Science films and series Fiction. Maybe it's because of that, because of its almost 170 km. bike lane, or for being a Mediterranean and welcoming city that enjoys 330 days of sunshine a year, Valencia has been chosen in 2023 by Forbes as the best city in the world. world to live. Whether for its traditional neighborhoods (Ruzafa, Cabanyal, Carmen), its modernist markets (Central, Colón), its kilometers of green park (Parque del Turia) and urban beach (Cabanyal, Malvarrosa, Patacona), its architectural variety (Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Modernism), its varied gastronomy (Valencia is not just paella) or its secret corners, You'll see how little your stay in Valencia feels like. I accompany you so that you do not miss anything, and find the answer to questions like what is a bat doing on a shield? Where does it come from? the expression “sleep to the moon of Valencia”?, or what is “the pardal of Sant Joan”?
