Cultural tourism in the Region of Valencia

We are going to enjoy a guided tour of the centre of Valencia.

The Carmen neighbourhood is known for its historic streets, small restaurants with a Mediterranean flavour and street art. We are going to learn about the importance of this art with explanations about murals, artists, their techniques and styles, as well as internal debates between graffiti and urban art. All the explanations with personalised attention so that everyone can enjoy them.

Afterwards, we will go to a very special space. A work space for an urban artist in the Benimaclet area. There we are going to get down to work. We are going to enjoy a practical, unique and memorable activity. For 1 hour we are going to enjoy a talk about his work, both graphic and on walls. To finish we can practice signatures and strokes with the artist, both with markers and with spray cans on a board.

You'll also visit the famous Castle of Pope Luna, where Pope Luna (Benedict XIII) took refuge. It's one of the best-preserved castles in Spain and the last castle built by the Templars. You'll learn about the history of the Templars and Pope Luna. You'll have one hour of free time to visit the castle garden, go shopping, or stroll through the old town. The tour departs with a minimum of two people. Group tour is friendly.

Short on time? This tour is the ultimate way to explore Valencia in just a few hours. You’ll ride past the city’s most iconic spots: from the winding streets of the old town to the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, along the green Turia riverbed and out to the Mediterranean coast.

Led by a local expert, the route is flat, scenic, and full of surprises. It’s perfect for first-time visitors or those who want to experience the very best of Valencia in one go.

Meeting at Toro Biker Base.

Presentation and briefing by the Toro Biker Guide on the basic safety rules for the route. Distribution of equipment and motorcycles to the participants.

Departure from the route.

Departure from the route, seeking the West exit of the city through the CV-35, will take you to Llíria via a simple highway that will facilitate the riders' first contact with the motorcycle. Upon reaching Llíria, we will take the detour towards Alcublas, where the newly asphalted road winds through various cultivated fields, leading to the first ascent of the mountain pass that will take us to one of the towns most associated with the motorcycling world in Valencia. At the exit of Alcublas, we will stop at the restored windmills, a charming glimpse into the region’s agricultural history. These historical landmarks offer a unique insight into traditional Valencian life and are set in a picturesque natural setting. We will continue the route towards Segorbe, taking roads that lead us into the western part of the Sierra Calderona Natural Park. The arrival at Cueva Santa and the descent to Segorbe are among the most enjoyable stretches in terms of motorcycle riding, as you will delight in taking curves of all kinds surrounded by the park's natural scenery. After regrouping at the roundabout at the entrance to Altura, we will continue crossing the city of Segorbe until we reach the detour towards Castellnovo via the CV-200. This more open road will gradually lead us into the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park until we reach Ahín, where, immersed in nature, we will arrive at our first destination: Eslida. The Bar Paquita in Eslida is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and valued classics by both motorcyclists and cyclists from Valencia and its surroundings. The good work of Mrs. Paquita, who combines her natural friendliness with a variety of breakfasts that have delighted generations (the bar was inaugurated in 1975), is joined by the incredible and equally famous "Cremaet," whose recipe was developed by her husband Rafael a simply heavenly closure to what will surely be a sandwich to remember and a more than pleasant time surrounded by a unique atmosphere. Currently, their children Rafa and Vicent run the bar with the same philosophy of service and friendliness, with whom we will take a photo for the memory.

Departure from Eslida.

Departure from Eslida towards Artana on the CV-223 until reaching the CV-10, which will lead us directly to the A-7 highway. Following the highway around the city of Valencia, always with the sea to our left, we will reach the Sollana exit. Bordering the town, we will venture into secondary roads in the heart of the fantastic fields where the majority of the famous Valencia Rice is cultivated. These paths will take us to El Palmar.

Lunch.

Lunch at one of the most renowned rice restaurants in El Palmar, "El Rek," distinguished with the Traveler's Choice quality seal for its quality in service and cuisine. Acclaimed by the locals, it is considered one of the best restaurants to savor the globally famous "Paella Valencia" accompanied by its equally famous Sangria.

Back to Valencia.

After delighting our palate with the delights of the most typical Valencian cuisine, we will take the CV-500 back to Valencia and make a final stop at the La Albufera Natural Park. Here, we will contemplate this marvel of nature and take photos of the sunset.

Discovering the second capital of the Costa Blanca with its two World Heritage Sites is an essential part of a visit to these lands. The largest palm grove in Europe has marked the evolution of an ancient city like few others, where up to 7 civilisations have passed through history. The remains of the medina and its imposing basilica form part of a medieval image that has little to do with the modern city immersed in the footwear industry.

A visit to one of these factories and the possibility of buying shoes at a good price is an incentive on this excursion. Returning towards the coast we will approach Santa Pola, once the portus Ilicitanus of the Romans and nowadays a resting place for thousands of holidaymakers. Las Salinas, the flamingos, the cap de l'aljub, the island of Tabarca are part of the usual panoramic view of this fishing village.
