A few words on Valencia
Where paella was born and futurism landed.
Valencia has a particular talent for being underestimated. While visitors flood Barcelona and Madrid, this Mediterranean city quietly gets on with being one of Spain's most liveable places, with a genuinely intact old town, a working port, and a string of urban beach at Malvarrosa that fills up with locals rather than tourists every weekend from May through October.
The contrast between old and new is sharper here than almost anywhere.
Santiago Calatrava's City of Arts and Sciences sits in the old Turia riverbed, a 9-kilometre green corridor converted into parkland after the river was diverted following catastrophic flooding in 1957. Walk from the Silk Exchange (La Lonja), a UNESCO Gothic masterpiece built in 1482, to the Hemisferic and the distance is barely twenty minutes, but the centuries stretch in every direction.

Valencia FAQ
Before you walk.
Valencia's old town is compact and easily reached from the main railway station (Estacio del Nord) on foot in under ten minutes. The metro and EMT buses cover the wider city well, and the city's free cycling infrastructure (Valenbisi bikes) is useful for getting between tour starting points.
Valencia is almost completely flat, making it one of the most walking-friendly cities in Spain. The Turia riverbed park is a long, level route connecting most of the major sights. Sensible shoes are sufficient, though the old town has some uneven cobblestone streets.
Paella originated in the rice paddies south of the city, and the real thing is a rice dish eaten at lunchtime, not in the evening. The El Cabanyal and Malvarrosa beachfront areas have restaurants that serve it properly. In the city centre, La Pepica on the seafront promenade has been a local institution since 1898.
You can download your tour content in advance over Wi-Fi, which means you don't need a live data connection while walking. Valencia's city centre has good mobile coverage, but pre-downloading before you head out is always the easiest approach.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
