Valencia is the city where ToroBiker, our headquarters, is located, and it serves as the starting point for many of our motorcycle journeys.

Some curiosities about Valencia

Las Fallas

It is one of the most important festivals in Valencia and without a doubt the most recognized internationally, but do you know what its origin is? The Fallas of Valencia began because the carpenters in the area piled up pieces of wood that they could not use for anything and on the eve of Saint Joseph they burned the mountain

Paella is not food

Paella is an almost sacred element of Valencian culture and extremely appreciated nationally and internationally. However, originally it was referred to as “paella rice” and not just plain paella. Because? Because the paella is, in reality, that very large, shallow pan with two handles that we now call a “paella pan”. In order to learn curiosities about Valencia and paella, you should visit the Valencian lagoon. In the rural areas near the Albufera is where paella rice emerged, a simple and humble dish that was prepared with the ingredients that were available from the fields and orchards, for example, vegetables and rabbits.

It has the largest aquarium in Europe

Are you a water lover? If you love knowing and observing all kinds of aquatic creatures, without a doubt the Valencia Oceanographic Center is a mandatory stop for you. With more than 100,000 square meters that house up to 500 different species, the Valencia Oceanographic Center is positioned as the largest in all of Europe. Among other curious species, you can see the only beluga family on the entire continent that lives in an aquarium.

Cuenca is a charming city full of history. Famous for its Hanging Houses, which seem to defy gravity on cliffs, Cuenca offers an old town declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Stroll through its cobblestone streets, visit the imposing Cathedral of Saint Mary and Saint Julian, and explore the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art. Surrounded by the impressive landscape of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, it is ideal for nature lovers. And we will also try its delicious traditional cuisine.

It is located just 10 km from the city. Nature in its purest form, dreamy sunsets, boat rides and disconnection in capital letters. Like an urban oasis surrounded by rice fields and forest: that is the L'Albufera Natural Park for everyone who knows it. Visit it if you want to understand the origin of Valencian gastronomy, because can there be a better reason to visit it than to know that it is exactly the place where paella was invented? Discover all the water birds, the vegetation and live like a true local fisherman on the largest lake in Spain. A boat ride in La Albufera is the best way to get closer to the birdlife, and also to relax in this wonderful natural environment. At dusk, the reddish and golden tones of the setting sun give it a truly magical atmosphere. The main attraction is the large freshwater lake of more than 2,800 hectares, the largest in Spain, which gives its name to the park: l'Albufera. Birds of up to 300 different species take refuge here throughout the year, especially aquatic birds that spend the winter here, such as flamingos. In fact, L'Albufera is recognized as one of the Ramsar wetlands of international importance, and since 1994, as a special protection area for birds (SPA).
