The "Ermita de la Purísima Sangre” in Sagunto is in a small square formed by the street of Sang Nova, near Calle del Castillo. It's known locally as "Ermita de la Sang".
The Easter Week processions in Sagunto are organised by the Cofradía de la Purísima Sangre de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo (the Brotherhood of the Most Holy Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ) and date back to the late 15th century, specifically to 1492. The Brotherhood currently has 1,500 members.

You can visit the Arab baths in Torres-Torres to commemorate the Arab part of the of the base of the Holy Grail. The Arab baths in Torres-Torres were declared a National Monument in 1938, and the site is one of only three still preserved in Spain. Restoration work has been done on the baths to make them suitable for the public to visit. The first documented reference to the baths dates back to 1555, when they were probably no longer in use for bathing.

In addition, we are specialists in organising bird and tiger watching trips to India, birds in Costa Rica or whales in Sri Lanka, among other destinations.
The Royal Palace was one of the most iconic buildings in Valencia, residence of monarchs from Jaume I until it was demolished in March 1810 by order of the Military Defence Junta to prevent it being used by the French army in their attack on the city. Its memory has been kept alive in the name of the gardens that once surrounded it, now known as Viveros or Jardines del Real.
The Catedral de Santa María (Cathedral of Santa María) in València, popularly known as La Seu, is the headquarters of the Archbishop of València and it was the wish of King Jaime I that it should be dedicated to the Assumption of Mary.
