Top 6 Points of Interest & Landmarks 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.

Constant Companion loves the decorative arts so this family home in the wonderful Carmen district of Valencia was on her "to do" list. It was a bit of a challenge finding it due to the small winding streets, the lack of signage, and our unfamiliarity with the area! But it was worth it!! The home contains works by Jose Bennlliure Ortiz, his son Peppino and sculptor brother Mariano, and art by others such as Joaquin Sorolla. The gardens in the rear feature some interesting tiles and are very relaxing. The highlight for me was the artist's studio in the rear of the garden. So glad we made the effort to visit!

Durante las obras de construcción de unos edificios entre las Plazas del Árbol, Centenar de la Paloma y la calle Baja, el golpe de un pico abrió un hallazgo sin precedentes: una bodega medieval que había esperado nada menos que ocho siglos a ser descubierta. Una verdadera cápsula del tiempo cuyo sensacional estado de conservación facilitó su inmediata consideración como bien patrimonial de primer orden. Este descubrimiento arqueológico ha devuelto a la vida uno de los periodos más significativos de la historia de Valencia, aquel en que Jaime I “el Conquistador” tomó la ciudad a los árabes para anexionarla después a la floreciente Corona de Aragón en 1238. El Celler Medieval fue una de las primeras construcciones que alojó el Barrio del Carmen. Entre sus paredes, y durante más de 200 años, se almacenó, elaboró y vendió la quintaesencia de la dieta Mediterránea tal y como la conocemos hoy día: cereal, aceite y vino (cereal, olivo y vid).
6. Estudio de pintura Yica Djuric
Yica's studio has three purposes. First, the studio is a place where she finds inspiration for her paintings and where she paints. Second, her studio is her gallery where all of her work is exposed. The studio is open every day and people can enter, see, discuss or ask whatever they are interested in. It is also a place where the artist spends a lot of her time with her family and friends.
