Top 10 Things to do in El Carme, Valencian Country
You’ll find plenty of orange trees here, but the fruit known as the "Valencia orange" was actually developed in California. Travelers interested in local food should focus on paella instead. While the city contains many monuments, Valencia’s modern crown jewel is the City of Arts and Sciences, a futuristic complex of museums, cinemas, theaters, and more.

Fantastic experience learning how to make traditional Paella Valenciana. The class started with an informative trip to the market and then fun instruction on a hands on class. Highly recommend! Nothing that I would change. If you like paella this is a must do. Take some extra time to find the class location unless you are familiar with the city.

Our family of four rented from Mega Bikes while in Valencia - two adults and two teens. Our apartment was around the corner so we just dropped in. There was a larger group in front of us, but their inventory is large so no worries. The bikes are high quality. The rental process was quick and simple. The location is a quick five minute ride to Jardi Turia, so you're close to what my family now considers one of the best parks in the world for bike riding. Valencia is one of the best cities for bike riders, the city is generally flat and bike lines are everywhere and well respected by auto traffic (unlike the U.S.)

This is effectively the ex river bed now extensive and delightful park area which has been shaped and honed so that it has something for everyone in terms of sports facilities, water features, floral displays, natural tree shade, walking / cycling paths/routes etc. You can stroll around any part of this city park and enjoy it and/or just sit a while and read a book. Colourful and cared for it never disappoints and is well worth a visit !!

Singular Museum located in the historic center of Valencia. Its funds go through all the symbols and traditions of what was the city's biggest festival and that has been going through its streets since 1355. The Rocks, giants and nanos, the Bestiary, the dances can be seen in this small Golden Museum with interactive panels and audiovisuals so you can immerse yourself in the oldest Corpus Christi procession in Europe.

Highly recommend you pop in to this as it explains a celebration held in greasy esteem by this beautiful city. So Valencia’s historic centre is a beautiful place, twisty roads, tall beautiful buildings and we happened upon this wonderful unassuming free exhibit by chance as we turned a corner heading elsewhere. Pope’s in, took us 30 mins to navigate the exhibit. Very interesting, some incredible pieces to see. If you visit you will no doubt pick up references to the Corpus Christi festival on other places around the city during your visit, so coming to the exhibit helps you to understand and put it all in context.

This museum covers different periods of the region's history, from Paleolithic to Roman. I especially liked the exhibition about the Iberian period (of which I knew and had seen practically nothing) and the Roman period (very well organised). One sector contains a comparison between these two periods (for example, coins and other objects), which I found very interesting. Very recommended for those interested in history!
