Description

Valencia is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean coast. Once the capital of its own kingdom, it is now a regional capital and Spain’s third-largest city. Surrounded by orange orchards and sandy beaches, the city enjoys year-round sunshine making it one of the top tourist destinations in the country.
The city was founded by the Romans, taken by the Visigoths, and prospered under the Moors. Each civilisation has left its mark and the historic centre includes a huge variety of monuments, such as the 13th-century cathedral some of the ancient city gates or the splendid Gothic 15th-century silk market.
On this live-streamed, interactive online experience, I will help you explore the fascinating heart of historic Valencia from the comfort of you own home. We will begin with the excitement and bustle of the Central Market, which is one of the largest fresh food markets in Europe, and walk along through the narrow streets that lead to the heart of the city. Here, we will get to admire the Virgin Square, which is considered one of the most beautiful squares in the whole of Spain. The tour will finish at the Serranos Gates, one of the Olden trances to Valencia and National Heritage.

Josep Alberola

I was born and raised in Valencia. I graduated in Art History at Valencia University and subsequently worked in different museums until I became a tour guide 15 years ago. I also have a degree in Political Science and Tourism. I am one of the fortunate people in this world that work in a job I absolutely love. I really enjoy bringing history to life, inspiring people, opening their minds, building a bridge from their culture to the one they are visiting. I am proficient in various languages (English, French, Catalan...), possess a strong love of history and art and enjoy passing on this passion for Valencia to others in an exciting, engaging and educational manner. It is a pleasure and a privilege to share my city with those wishing to experience its history and captivating beauty.

    It was a fascinating and insightful tour! Josep provided a compelling and interesting narrative about the history and architecture of this amazing city, and offered details that made the buildings "come alive". He also offred very useful responses to questions making the experience personalized and customized. I cant wait to visit Valencia and order Paella in the historic district!
