The Itinerary: From Old Town to the Mediterranean
The tour kicks off in the Historic Old Town, where we’re introduced to sites like the Bullring, La Lonja de la Seda (the silk exchange), and the bustling Central Market. These are not just tourist spots but the very engines of Valencia’s past prosperity. Our guide, whose name we wish we knew, shares stories about how these buildings once fueled the city’s wealth. Pedaling along cobbled streets and narrow alleys, you’ll notice how the city has preserved its medieval character amid modern life.
Next, we dive into the El Carmen neighborhood — a maze of streets filled with murals, cafes, and hidden corners. This part of the tour reveals the city’s bohemian side and its vibrant street life. It’s a chance to see the less touristy side of Valencia, where locals go about their daily routines away from the main sights.
Transitioning from history to nature, we head into the Turia Gardens, a sprawling park created from a former riverbed, which now offers a lush green corridor through the city. Here, we admire the Santiago Calatrava architectural complex, an avant-garde blend of arts and engineering. The sleek, flowing lines of the buildings contrast beautifully with the greenery, making for some outstanding photo opportunities.
Our final leg takes us outside the city to Albufera National Park, known for its tranquil lakes and birdlife. As we cycle along the quiet paths beside the water, the gentle scenery prepares us for the highlight — a scenic beachfront terrace where we indulge in a classic Valencian paella. The dish, prepared on-site, is served with a drink and is the perfect way to relax after a day of pedaling and sightseeing.
Comfort and Convenience: What to Expect
The tour uses brand-new E-bikes, which are a gift for those who prefer a little assistance on their rides. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, the leisurely pace ensures everyone can keep up. The route is planned along safe cycle paths, making it suitable even for less confident cyclists.

Dining and Refreshments
The paella tasting on a beachfront terrace is a highlight, not just because of the dish itself but because of the setting. Imagine sitting with your toes in the sand, gazing out at the Mediterranean, while savoring the authentic flavors of Valencian rice, seafood, and saffron. The inclusion of a drink adds to the relaxing vibe, making it a well-rounded experience.
