Free maritime tour: the port of Valencia
The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes
Available in Spanish
Description
Did you know that Valencia wasn't born on the seashore?
Although today it seems inseparable from its blue horizon, the city had to "conquer" its access to the Mediterranean step by step. We invite you on a journey through the history, engineering, and cutting-edge technology of one of Europe's most vibrant ports.
What will you discover in this experience?
● The Historical Legacy: We will begin under the majestic Clock Building , the old maritime station of 1914, to understand how "el Grao" connected the city with the world.
● Industrial Beauty and Modernism: We will admire the Tinglados , jewels of metal architecture decorated with Valencian ceramics that tell the story of the golden age of orange exports.
● A Challenge to Nature: We will discover why the port of Valencia is a masterpiece of artificial engineering, built on a difficult and sandy coast.
● Vanguard and Entrepreneurship: We will cross into the future at the Marina of Valencia , an innovation ecosystem where training (EDEM) and the iconic architecture of David Chipperfield at Veles e Vents come together.
● Stage for Major Events: We will remember the urban transformation brought about by the Copa América and Formula 1.
● The Two Sides of the Port: We will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the nautical and sports area.
An unforgettable ending: We will finish by the mouth of the port, where we will remember that Valencia no longer looks at the sea as a barrier, but as its great gateway to the world.

We are four historians and archaeologists united by a common passion: to tell the story of Valencia in a unique way. We don't want your visit to be just a stroll among monuments, but a journey through time, an experience that makes you feel the city as we have discovered it in every excavation, in every ancient document, and in every street that has seen centuries of history. Our tours don't follow predefined scripts or tourist clichés; we take you to explore the nuances, curiosities, and little secrets that turn every corner into a living testimony to the past. If you're looking for more than just a visit, if you want to understand the essence of Valencia through those who have dedicated their lives to studying it, join us. We want you, at the end of the tour, to feel that you've not only visited the city, but that you've lived it.
