Route 2 - Ensanche and Ruzafa

When the medieval walls were torn down

new neighborhoods began to be built in the city.

These neighborhoods form the Ensanche.

The houses in the Ensanche form square-shaped groups.

that are connected by main roads or streets.

The Ensanche is the main shopping area in Valencia

and has many places to enjoy the gastronomy .

In addition, we can see true wonders of modern architecture

and get to know such powerful neighborhoods as Ruzafa,

which they call the Valencian Soho .
