About this tour
This short session covers the Torres de Serranos, one of the surviving gates in Valencia's medieval walls. You see the twin towers up close, once used as a prison, and the view back toward the cathedral from beside the gate. It traces the edge of the old walled city in a single stop.
I start at the main facade and move a short distance for the view back toward the centre, explaining the gate's history as we go. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards.
This suits anyone interested in the old city walls rather than only its churches. It also pairs well with a session on the cathedral and Miguelete tower.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way

Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Esgarraet and El Carmen, worth a slower look.
Good to know
