Valencia Old Town: A Budget Guide
Close down your Valencia old town map – Google can’t help you now. Instead, let your feet guide you through El Carmen’s winding streets. Graffiti-lined alleyways might look like they lead to nowhere, but typically this is where you chance upon the biggest rewards – historic buildings, churches, little squares with bars serving ice-cold jugs of sangria and glasses of local favourite, Agua de Valencia. This drink is a delicious combo of freshly-squeezed orange juice, local cava, vodka…and gin – an easy ticket to tipsy town with an added dose of Vitamin C.
