#24/7 VALENCIA :COULD YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THE BOOK, ‘LA VALENCIA CONTADA’?

PUBLISHERS DRASSANA: “Valencia is one of the fifty most populated metropolises in Europe and one of the oldest cities on the planet, with more than two thousand years of existence. Its passage through history has been intense and has left deep traces that remain. Here we will take a delightful stroll through the origins and monuments of the main historic centres that make up the city: the districts of Carme and Velluters, in Ciutat Vella; Cabanyal, in the maritime district; and the so-called quarters, Patraix, Russafa, Benimaclet and Campanar.

Vicent Baydal, Frederic Aparisi and Ferran Esquilache narrate with a masterful agility the passages of a city that Tono Giménez has photographed from all angles. The book is the result of the project La Valencia Contada, produced by La Rambleta and promoted by Cervezas Alhambra.

VICENT BAYDAL (Valencia, 1979) has a PhD in History and teaches History of Law at the Jaume I University in Castellón, specialising in parliamentary history and the history of identities in the kingdom of Valencia. He has spent his career at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, the European University Institute in Florence and the University of Oxford. He is the chronicler of the city of Valencia and author of books such as Els valencians, des de quan són valencians? (2016), València no s’acaba mai (2016) and Del Sénia al Segura. Breu història dels valencians (2018). @vicentbaydal
