Valencia is Spain at its best. Three hundred days of sunshine a year, history, beach and ultramodern architecture. And above all, the birthplace of paella. The city is perfect for exploring by bike. Or on foot, it's up to you. With this city trip, you choose to go the extra mile. And what should not be missed is learning to make paella. Nothing stops you from impressing everyone at home with your home-made paella.
Day 1: Exploring the city
After arriving in Valencia, explore the old city center at your own pace and enjoy a drink on a terrace. In the evening, a local will take you past the best tapas bars on a tapas walk through the center. You will combine three locations and get the chance to taste many tapas. This way you will also have your dinner for the first evening and it is the best way to discover the historic center.
Day 2: Bike tour and museums
Valencia lends itself enormously to exploring by bike. It is a true cycling city where it is very safe to cycle. At a relaxed pace you will discover the highlights of Valencia together with a guide. After lunch, visit the City of Arts and Sciences. The Museo de las Ciencias offers interactive exhibitions about science and technology. Anything but boring. You can also choose to visit Oceanogràfic, the largest aquarium in Europe. In the evening you will learn how to make the only real paella during a workshop, which you can eat afterwards. Delicious!
Day 3: Utiel-Requena
Explore the Vallencian vineyards and valleys on a day trip to the Utiel-Requena wine region. During this excursion you will discover how wine is produced. You will visit a winery and afterwards enjoy a tasting of the best wines, cavas and olive oils. On top of that, a delicious local lunch is included. You will walk off the calories during a guided walk through the narrow streets of Requena.
