Guided tour in the old fisherman quarter Cabanyal

Guided tours in the old Fisherman quarter of Valencia

There are many guided tours in the old City of Valencia and of course at the Ciudad des Artes. But the old Fisherman quarter (Cabanyal) is something special and an area not well known by tourists. Marga, the guide speaks Spanish and English and she tells you a lot about the history of this specific neighborhood with it tiled houses, old fish market, the bull house and has stories on the neighborhood which will most probably change your first impression of this area.
