On Sunday 18th we will go for a trip to Sagunto and Port Saplaya. A little break of studying to meet again and stay all together.
We will leave in the morning and return to Valencia before the sun goes down.
More than 2,000 years ago in the city Sagunto were lots of monuments which survived to this day. The history is full of excitement and curiosity. Since the Iberians, Romans and Medieval Jews. It was besieged and conquered by Hannibal himself, and the conquest of the city of Sagunto was the trigger for the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage.
Guided TOUR of the Roman Theatre which is one of the first in century (had capacity for 6000 people), the huge Castillo (about 1km runs) with spectacular views and the Museum of the History.
Also walk through the medieval streets and the famous La Juderia neighborhood.
All this with a guide who will explain to us everything you need to know in a nice and funny way!
Picnic lunch in the castle all together (everyone brings their food and drink).
On the way back to Valencia we will visit in Port Saplaya – know for its beaches and unique urbanizm and this is why it is called by tourists as a "Little Venecia".
This village belongs to the municipality of Alboraya therefore is known as "the cradle of horchata" or "fountain of horchata" for the great tradition that has this drink in town and fields of chufa nearby.
Horchata is a refreshing drink (as well a dessert), prepared with water, sugar and mashed groundnuts (or ground) plus this ingredients that make its flavor, such as cinnamon and lemon peel. We can enjoy this typical drink of this land in the village bars called HORCHATERIA.
*Curiosidad: Existe un cuento ambientado en la época de la Reconquista que explica el nombre que se dio a la bebida. Dice el cuento que una aldeana llevó al rey de la Corona de Aragón, Jaime I “el Conquistador”, un poco de horchata. Al rey le encandiló el sabor y preguntó qué era aquello. La chica respondió que era leche de chufa (llet de xufa, en valenciano), nombre con el que se conocía la bebida. El rey exclamó: Açò no és llet, açò és OR, XATA!, es decir, ‘¡Esto no es leche, esto es oro, chata!’. Se originó un juego de palabras entre or y xata, dando el supuesto origen al vocablo valenciano orxata, forma de escribirlo en dicho idioma.
Departure by private bus from Valencia in the morning and return in the evening.
The trip includes:
- Private Bus (go and back)
