Overview of your Valencia tour

Water is a treasure in this part of Spain. Did you know that our land irrigation system was built by Roman, and later Arabs in the al-Andalus period?. The irrigators' tribunals of the Spanish Mediterranean coast rules from Roman times. Recognized under Spanish law, regulates the use of water to irrigate the fertile plains of the Region of Valencia. It was inscribed in 2009 as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. They still dispense justice and met every Thursday in front of one of the Cathedral doors. The Valencia plain and gardens have been attached to this system. Fountains in every corner is another issue in Valencia. The Clay we are made of is also, , , our natural soil: clay soil is part of our traditions, as the industry of ceramics. Manises- a ceramic village in Valencia- is how my grandmother used to call any tile we would have around. . . so our blue and white domes are made of ¨manises¨according to my grandmother: Amparo, named after the patrona of Valencia. This is our heritage.
