Sightseeing
One of the worlds great market halls. A must see. Try to go there in the morning or at least before 1 pm. Inside the Mercado is a small open food bar run by a Michelin starred chef, but nonetheless super affordable. If you go there at noon or 12.30 you might not even have to queue ;-)

A must see. The very symbol of Valencia. The holy grail is rumoured to be here. If you don't suffer from claustrophobia or short breath I highly recommend to climb up the stairs to the top of the tower. Easily the best view in Valencia. Unforgettable sunsets.
