When I decided to come to Valencia 3 years ago, I didn’t know how amazing it could be to live in this city … My first walk was a mix of curiosity and happiness… it was a sunny day and I stopped to have a quick breakfast in Plaza de la Virgen and when I asked the waiter for some tourist information, he advised me to visit the Turia Garden. I was surprised when I first walked through the garden and realized that I was ‘inside’ a river, which used to be responsible for big...

They were completely burned. When asking the house owner the next day for the reason I realized: I...

Valencia started to blossom a thousand years ago and became an important seafaring city and frontier city in the wars between Christian and Moorish forces in what is known as the...
