Walks

The old town, on foot, at your pace.

Inside San Nicolás church in Valencia: painted vaulted ceiling and a gilded altarpiece — San Nicolás, a few minutes from the Lonja. People call it Valencia’s Sistine Chapel, and we can step in on the way.

Seafood paella almost finished on a terrace table in Valencia's old town — After the walk, if you’re hungry: seafood paella in the old town.

Just you and the people you came with. We start where you like, stop when you're hungry and skip whatever doesn't interest you.

A typical morning

09:30
Torres de SerranosA 14th-century city gate. Climb it; the view over the old riverbed is the best free one in town.
09:55
Plaza de la VirgenOn Thursdays at noon the Water Tribunal still meets at the cathedral door. Farmers have settled irrigation fights here for over a thousand years.
10:15
Cathedral & the Micalet207 steps up the bell tower. And a cup inside that Valencia insists is the Holy Grail.
10:50
La Lonja de la SedaThe silk exchange, UNESCO-listed since 1996. Look up at the gargoyles, some of them are rude.
11:20
Mercado CentralAround 300 stalls under one modernist roof. We eat something here.
12:00
Plaza Redonda → horchataTiger-nut milk, with fartons to dunk in it.

Paella

Cook it. Fight over the socarrat.

The cook talking a table of guests through each step during a paella workshop in a Valencia garden

In the workshop you cook the original Valencian paella from scratch, then sit down in the garden and eat it with a jug of sangria.

The crispy layer stuck to the bottom of the pan is the socarrat. It's the best part.

From €65 per person. Works for two people or for a school group of fifty.

Questions

Things people ask.

I'm on a cruise. Will I make it back?

We plan the walk around your all-aboard time, not the arrival time on the itinerary, and finish with plenty of margin for the taxi back to the port. If the ship arrives late, we shorten the route.

Is this an official guided tour?

It's a private walk with a local. We walk the streets together. For the inside of the Cathedral or the Lonja you go in with your own ticket (and the audio guide), and I'll be waiting at the door.

Is it OK for kids or grandparents?

Valencia is flat. We can make the walk shorter, add more coffee stops and skip the 207 steps up the Micalet.

How do I pay?

When you book, I send you a PayPal link for a €30 deposit. That holds the date. The rest you pay at the end of the walk, in cash or by PayPal. Cancel up to 48 hours before and I refund the deposit in full.

And if it rains?

It doesn't rain much here. If it does, the Mercado Central and the Lonja are both covered, or we move you to another day if your plans allow it.

Can I do the paella without the walk?

Yes. Each thing can be booked on its own. Many people do both.

We're a group of 120. Is that too many?

No. Send dates and numbers and we'll tell you what's free across the three hostels.
