Overview

From medieval Valencia to the future: A journey through time on wheels

The adventure begins at the imposing Serranos Towers, the stone gateway that opens the doors to historic Valencia. From here, we will pedal through the maze of the old town, where the medieval past meets us at every corner. But Valencia is more, and our route will take us to discover modernist elegance, with its decorated façades and markets that are true temples of light and color.

Meeting at Plaza de la Crida

Tour introduction at the foot of the Serranos Towers. Information session on cycling regulations and safety tips to enjoy Valencia with complete confidence.

15 min

Plaza de la Virgen

At Plaza de la Virgen, the spiritual heart of the city, we will stop in front of the Basilica to discover the history of the Flower Offering. We will learn how, every year, thousands of bouquets are woven into the mantle of the patron saint, bringing together faith, color and Fallas tradition in an unbeatable pedestrian setting.

15 min

Plaza de la Almoina

Under our feet in Plaza de l'Almoina beats the origin of everything: the Roman city of Valentia, founded in 138 BC. At this key point, we will observe through the glass the excavations that reveal the baths and the forum, allowing us to travel visually to the foundations where Valencia was born.

15 min

Plaza de la Reina

At the emblematic Plaza de la Reina, we will stop in front of the enigmatic façade of the Cathedral to uncover its secrets. We will look up at the Miguelete, the Gothic bell tower that guards the Valencian sky, and learn about the mystery of the Holy Chalice, kept inside as one of the most important relics of Christendom.

15 min

Town Hall Square

At Town Hall Square we will be surrounded by the elegance of **Valencian Modernism**, admiring the imposing façades of the Post Office and the City Hall Palace. Here, at the epicenter of the **Fallas**, we will feel the energy of the square where every March gunpowder and ephemeral art transform the city into the stage for a celebration unique in the world.

15 min

Colón Market

At **Colón Market**, we will immerse ourselves in a jewel of Valencian modernism, where exposed brick, ceramics and iron create a space of unique elegance. Among its colorful columns, we will learn about the tradition of **horchata**, the most emblematic tiger nut drink of our land, in one of the city’s most sophisticated and authentic settings.

20 min

City of Arts and Sciences

We arrive at the spectacular **City of Arts and Sciences**, a futuristic setting where white concrete and the shine of white ceramic in *trencadís* defy the imagination.
