Overview

Valencia’s Eixample district is the ultimate Art Nouveau hotspot, and this self-guided walking tour reveals over 50 modernist masterpieces hidden in plain sight. Away. from the touristy historic center, this elegant, bourgeois neighborhood is where the real magic happens. You’ll discover the revolutionary 20th-century style that reshaped the city, where buildings burst with whimsical figures and intricate botanical designs. Starting at Plaça de la Porta de la Mar, you’ll see early masterpieces by Francisco Javier Goerlich, including Valencia’s very first Art Nouveau building, Edificio de los Dragones. As we walk, I’ll share the history of Gran Vía del Marqués del Túria and its distinguished residents, the bittersweet story of the House of Swallows, and the enchanting Casa Ortega, where the tour ends. Along the way, you’ll explore Valencia’s Golden Triangle, marvel at Mercat de Colón, and uncover groundbreaking architectural innovations.
