Itinerary

1

Estacio del Nord

This is our meeting point and first landmark we will visit. It´s one of the most beautiful train stations in Spain built in modernist architecture.

2

Iglesia de San Agustin

We´ll head to the first restaurant (close by the station) where I´ll tell you about the origin and meaning of tapas. I´ll share recipes and cooking tips. There´s a big surprise awaiting you regarding a rooted local sport. We´ll taste 2 "tapas" (snacks) and a local drink, that can be a soft drink, beer or glass of wine

3

Placa del Ajuntament

On our way to the second restaurant, we´ll stop at the spectacular Town Hall Square, where I´ll talk about some aspects of the rich history of Valencia (19th-20th century period).

4

La Lonja de la Seda

Our next stop will be at the iconic Silk Exchange Market, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. I´ll talk about the splendour of the city during the 14th-17th centuries and its importance in Europe.

5

Mercat Central de Valencia

The Central Market is a gem, one of the best examples of Modernism in Valencia, and a wonder for the senses. I´ll share some recommendations for tasting "paella valenciana" and other local delicacies.

6

Real Parroquia de los Santos Juanes

Santos Juanes Church is the second most important Baroque church after Saint Nicholas Church, known as the Valencian Sixtine Chapel. Both are linked and I will tell visitors about it
