Valencian Community

The Valencian Community is an autonomous community located in eastern Spain. Bathed along its entire coastline by the Mediterranean Sea, it is made up of three provinces: Alicante, Castellón and Valencia, it's capital. The Valencian Community borders to the north with Catalonia and Aragon, to the west with Castilla-La Mancha and Aragon and to the south with the Region of Murcia. With a Mediterranean climate, this autonomous community has mild temperate winters and warm summers, which attracts a large number of travelers looking to enjoy culture, history, tradition and of course its beaches. In addition, the Valencian Community has a large number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, among which are the Lonja de la Seda, the cave art of the Mediterranean arc of the Iberian Peninsula, the Palm Grove of Elche, the Mystery of Elche (musical theater play), the Valencia Water Tribunal, the Valencia Fallas and it is home to the now-famous Mediterranean Diet. Valencian gastronomy is one of the most popular and internationally recognized cuisines, where rice is a staple and an artform. The Valencian paella is the most famous dish, but there are many others more worthy of a mention, such as baked rice, arroz a banda, arroz negro or fideuá. If we talk about sweets, we cannot fail to mention the fabulous nougat from Jijona, the chocolate from Villajoyosa, the tiger nut horchata accompanied by sweet fartons and, of course, the Valencian oranges.

Valencia Cathedral and Miguelete

The Cathedral of Valencia or Cathedral of the Holy Chalice is a building that combines several architectural styles. From the impressive Gothic door of the Apostles, the miguelete and the dome in the fourteenth and fifteenth century, through the various Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical styles, until the twenty-first century. Of great beauty, it also is noted for the quality of its paintings by various artists, including Francisco de Goya, for its choir and altarpiece. But, undoubtedly, the undisputed protagonist of the Valencian cathedral is the Holy Chalice, which is located in the chapel of the same name. This chalice dates from the Alexandrian period and is considered the Holy Grail. Although there are some skeptics due to its medieval appearance, the truth is that the relic is the agate cup, the upper part of the chalice, a precious Alexandrian cup of oriental origin that archaeologists consider to date from the years 100 to 50 BC. The lower part (the foot, the handles and the naveta supporting the cup), would have been added later, in medieval times. Hence the gold, pearls and precious stones and the alabaster vessel in Islamic style.
