Myths and Truths Self Guided Walking Tour of Valencia
L'Eixample
About
Valencia got so tired of its river flooding that it picked the whole thing up and moved it, leaving a long green garden curving through the centre. That is one of the true stories on this self-guided audio walking tour of Valencia, narrated through the Tourific app as you walk at your own pace.
Over about two hours you separate the city's beloved myths from the truth: the bat on the coat of arms that began as a dragon, a church named for a princess who never existed, a king who supposedly tasted horchata and called it gold. You also meet three quiet heroes, settle what belongs in a real paella, and hear about a cup that two popes have raised as the Holy Grail.
