Plaza de la Virgen, Valencian Country, Spain


4.5 (4.717 reviews) Spent Ranking #12 in Valencian Country Historic Walking Areas

The Centerpiece to Valencia

I’d love to hear a story of someone failing to see this marvelous plaza in the beating heart of Valencia—since I think such stories would seldom be told. It’s very difficult to miss this gorgeous area. Flanked by the stunning Valencia Cathedral to the south and pristine residential districts and parks to the north, the Virgin Plaza is the community space that marries all of the city’s wonderful sides together into one. I spent about an hour people-watching, snapping photos and selfies, and enjoying live local music from skilled street performers. I wish I had time to stay longer. It’s safe, sparkly clean, and well worth your time. Enjoy!

    Sit and watch the world go by
    Wonderful square to sit and enjoy a drink, around the side of the cathedral, there is a fountain and also, Real Basílica De Nuestra Señora De Los Desamparados, a small church which just looks like a building from the outside, we saw people going in so we followed. Beautiful inside and unlike the cathedral this is free to enter, there are times up to let you know when mass is on, should you wish to go. After 6pm Street entertainers set up here and there is a lovely atmosphere.

    Plaza to watch the world go by, with nice architecture views!
    Great place to grab a drink and watch the world to go by, additionally you have a great backdrop of the Basilica, the back of the Cathedral and the fountain. If you are lucky, you will also be entertained by random street performers. You can also sit near the front of the Cathedral, but that tends to be more crowded with families and more commercial place like McDonalds, which ruins the historic atmosphere.
