BIKE TOUR IN THE RIVERBED OF EL TURIA The river Turia actually was deviated around the city after a catastrophic inundation in 1957. The old river-bed today is used by the population for all kinds of sports and leisure-time activities. A fabulous way to discover Valencia, the historical city centre, the green riverbed and the City of Arts and Ciences. During the tour we will have a break on a pleasant terrace where we will enjoy a nice drink. Optionally we can offer a performance of the Tuna band, playing famous and traditional Spanish songs. * As an alternative we could offer a similar tour also with Segways.  HISTORIC CULTURE AND TAPAS TOUR To discover the Valencian gastronomy is without doubt one of the most attractive things to do in the city. Having a stroll around the old centre full of historical monuments the group is up to find several typical tapas bars. Guided by a professional city guide the group will taste a variety of Spanish specialities. Groups should not exceed 15 persons per group.  VISIT TO SAGUNTO AND LLADRÓ The manufacture of Lladró is creating classic porcelain art and it´s recognized anywhere in the world by its exquisite creations that transmit their message to the homes of the world. We will start the visit with a video presentation about the company, followed by an explanation of the fabrication process, an exposition of some beautiful porcelain pieces and a visit to the museum. You will also have the opportunity to have a look at the stores that are situated in the building. In order to discover the richness of the Valencian surroundings, the group will leave Lladró by bus to go to Sagunto. The city was founded during the first century by the Romans. It offers wide range possibilities of cultural visits. The group will see the old castle of the city and the rest of the old walls which extend over 1 km. There is an old and authentic Roman theatre which was built in the first century. It was the first monument of Spain which was announced in the National Monument Spanish list in 1896.

WINE TOUR IN REQUENA The Autonomous Region of Valencia is composed of an interesting landscape that has got much to offer. In only 50 minutes one can leave behind the city of Valencia and enter into rural Spain and see its most charming side. Utiel-Requena is a fast growing wine region, which already is a definite insider tip! In this visit we combine historical knowledge, with regional wine culture and local, authentic gastronomy. Here you won´t find any tourists!! We visit Requena and its small antique centre, afterwards the bodega Torre Oria with a delicius wine tasting waitung for the group and finish with a meal at a very local restaurant.  VISIT OF THE FALLERO MUSEUM Readers on their first visit to Valencia and to this museum, today located in a former Vincentian convent, may find it hard to understand what exactly a Falla is and what this museum means. Basically, the Fallas can be described as satirical monuments. They are models made of combustible materials (cardboard, wood, etc.) that are erected in public squares and at main crossroads and then burnt on the night of 19 March, St Joseph's Day. The monuments are made by specialist Falleros with the help and encouragement of resident's committees in all the different districts that spend the whole year preparing the annual festivities. On completion, each fallero chooses the figure he considers the most successful and, a few weeks before the plantà, when the monuments are moved out to the streets, all of these figures (ninots) are placed on display. The general public can then vote for the ninot they consider the most attractive, clever or amusing and only that one is then saved from the fire. The Fallas are a significant part of Valencian tradition and culture and can only here be seen!  VISIT VALENCIA – NEW AND OLD - BY BUS During a bus tour through Valencia you will get to know the most important sights of the city and by this an overall idea of it. Founded by the Romans in the year 138 BC Valencia has accumulated enormous wealth from all the cultures which have resided here over the centuries (Muslims, Goths…). Enjoy Valencia and feel the plurality and evolution of a city where prosperous historical tradition and recent and innovative architecture stand side by side: The historic centre with its religious temples, Gothic Barroque and Modernist monuments, the varied and renowned museums, the architectural projects such as the city of Arts and Science, and the Conference Palace are but a few of the many attractions which Valencia has to offer its visitors.
