Guided Tour of Valls
Tour Details
We'll meet at the Tourism Office in Valls at the designated time. Once everyone has arrived, we'll begin a walking tour of this city in the province of Tarragona, the birthplace of the castells, the famous human towers.
There is a saying: "In Valls, people like to look at the sky." On this guided tour of Valls, you'll uncover the meaning behind this phrase and discover many other fascinating curiosities about this charming city with over 8 centuries of history.
First, we'll walk through the streets of the historic center of Valls. As you stroll, we'll discuss the city's commercial activity, one of the main reasons the Jewish community increased in the 13th century. We'll then reach Plaza del Blat, a perfect spot to learn about the castell tradition.
Afterward, we'll reach the Refugio Antiaéreo de la Guerra Civil, where you'll learn about some of the most remarkable stories of the locals during this turbulent chapter of history as you explore its underground galleries.
Our next stop will be at the Parish of San Juan Bautista, where the bell tower—the tallest in Catalonia—will take your breath away. After admiring the sky and all the details of its facade, we'll visit the Plaza de L’Oli, declared an Asset of Local Cultural Interest in Catalonia.
To finish this tour, we'll reach the Capilla del Roser (Chapel of the Roser), a Late-Romanesque-style chapel from the 14th century whose interior houses a collection of more than 2500 tiles honoring the Battle of Lepanto. You'll be captivated by these tiles, declared a National Tourist Heritage Site!
After this 1-hour guided tour, we'll say goodbye at the chapel's exterior to conclude this tour.
