Discovering Valencia
Valencia is one of the most complete destinations in Spain. Art, food, culture, entertainment, nature, there is something for everyone! Here are some things not to miss.1- El Miguelete
The octagonal bell tower of the cathedral is a gothic Valencian construction begun in 1381 and completed just under 50 years later. Originally it was completely isolated from the cathedral, but enlargements at the end of 1400 united the two structures. If you feel fit, you can climb the 207 steps to the top to enjoy a wonderful view of the city. The bell tower owes its name to Miguel, the famous bell dating back to 1432 and weighing over ten tons.
2- Jardín del Turia
This park will make you enjoy fresh air and relaxation right in the heart of the city. It was born in the 20th century, after the Turia River broke its banks in 1957, causing serious damage to the city. The river was diverted and in the 80s its riverbed in the city was turned into nine kilometers of greenery. Several landscape architects were involved in the construction of these gardens, creating a setting of pine forests, orange groves, palm trees and paths leading to sports facilities, play areas and fountains.
