Valencia and sightseeing

Valencia impresses tourists with its Old Town, where you can admire the beauty of the monuments left behind by the Moors. The time of the Moors was a flourishing one for Valencia and it can all be seen in the beauty of the architectural styles, the wealth and the elegance of the elements displayed on the walls of the buildings and the charm of the streets! The Cathedral is definitely a ‘’must’’ stop on your sightseeing tour, as it is an exquisite example of Gothic architecture; however, the remarkable detail of the cathedral is that its three portals show three different architectural styles: one is Baroque, one is Gothic and the third one is Romanesque.

The Manises Square is spectacular, hosting the Generalidad Palace dating back to the 15th century and used today by the government as seat. The Torres de Quart Town gate is also an impressive monument built in 1441, so you should also offer it some of your attention! Your sightseeing tour should also contain the Patriarca College, the Law Court (built in a Neoclassical style), the Barrio del Carmen, a beautiful district where you will find terraces, cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants and the picturesque gardens; they are all worth your attention!

Valencia is a city dominated by the sun and the oranges, but the local dishes also contain delicious sea food and perfumed local wines that come together perfectly, such as the D.O.Valencia. You should taste the Paella Marinera, one of the dishes for which Valencia became famous, containing vegetables, seafood and rice with saffron. If you want to have fun, enjoy Valencia’s lively nightlife and join the numerous fiestas hosted by its streets, as they are perfect opportunities to get to know Valencia’s traditions and customs.
