Once hidden in the shadow of Spain’s majors destinations, Valencia and Alicante are recently being discover by travelers seeking authenticity and style. Customizing the 2 cities´s visit/ 2 days based on what we agree for visiting -and transport-. They are apart : 2 hrs driving or train. Both cities are redefining Mediterranean travel — celebrated by The New York Times and Condé Nast Traveler as Spain’s most vibrant and authentic cities. In Valencia, Europe’s Green Capital, wander off the beaten path through creative streets, the historic center where design, gastronomy, and history blend in harmony. In Alicante, 2025 Spanish Capital of Gastronomy, walk from the colorful Santa Cruz quarter to the castle’s views, tasting market-fresh tapas and local wines along the way. I will reveal the true soul of the Mediterranean — slow, cultural, and deeply local. I love giving details and love offering a sense of the past and the present, highlighting the moments and details that spark the group’s interest.
