Theatrical Walking Tour of the Gothic Quarter in Valencia

This theatrical tour unfolds in the city's heart, where the scent of ancient stone blends with the vibrant history of the prosperous and dynamic 15th century. La Lonja de la Seda, a UNESCO World Heritage site, serves as the starting point for this immersive journey into the Middle Ages.

Guests stroll along cobbled alleys and iconic squares, listening to voices and ambient sounds that evoke the bustling energy of medieval life. The route concludes at the Towers of Serranos, where a live reenactment of the city’s ancient gate brings the sensory journey through time to a close.
