What to see, where to buy and how to read the city — notes by a licensed guide who has been working in Valencia since 2019.
Four palaces of the Valencian nobility where the building itself is as interesting as the collection: Dos Aguas ceramics, the royal residence of Cervelló, the L’Iber miniatures and the city museum.
The Silk Exchange, the Water Tribunal, Las Fallas and hand bell ringing — four UNESCO entries, three of which are not buildings but living traditions.
Vermouth, mistela, fondillón, herbero and rice cream liqueur: what they are, how they are drunk and which labels to look for.
Five shops with local character: historic ceramics, regional wine and chocolate, two hundred vermouths, Spanish minimalism and alternative finds by the sea.
