Hello. I am Adam. Welcome to the Valencia Audio Tour: Hidden Palaces and Legends of Ciutat Vella. The winding streets of the old city are waiting for us. Imagine the scent of roasting almonds mixing with a faint sea breeze... the echoes of footsteps on old cobblestones, and the golden glow of carved limestone. We have fifteen stops today. We will begin at the grand Palace of the Catalá de Valeriola, march past the tiny troops of the L'Iber Lead Soldier Museum, and eventually stand beneath the massive Torres de Serranos.
As you approach each landmark, my voice will start playing automatically. If I am being quiet...... just hit play manually. Got turned around? Simply check the map on your app. Feel free to ask me questions in the chat below at any stop, too.
A quick heads up before we walk. We will pass a few religious sites, so it is best to wear something that covers your shoulders out of respect. Also, watch your step on these ancient cobblestones, and keep an eye out for electric scooters zipping through the alleys. Truly a modern medieval hazard.
If you have not already, head over to our first stop, the Palace of the Catalá de Valeriola, and let us begin this journey.
