Free Tour Valencia, Impressive Melting Pot of Cultures
Overview
I am Lucia, a prior languages teacher and aid worker. I love travelling, and that is why I know very well what makes a place special. I have lived in exciting countries like Ethiopia, Burma, and China, as well as the UK and Ireland.
You will have the opportunity to explore the legacies left by the Romans, Moors, and Christians. I will tell you the legends of relevant historical characters, such as the Borgia dynasty or James I, King of Aragon.
Our tour includes visits to North Train Station (meeting point), Town Hall Square, the Palace of the Marquis of Two Waters, the Cathedral, the Basilica, the Generalitat Palace, Saint Nicholas Church, the Silk Exchange Market, and the Central Market.
I will share anecdotes and provide recommendations to help you make the most of your stay in the city, including suggestions for restaurants serving paella and tapas.
