You step off a tiled square, smartphone in hand, and the city opens like a map that wants to be read. Narrow lanes of the old quarter push you toward the patinaed stone of La Lonja and the hum of the Central Market; floral bridges and plazas keep tugging you sideways. The scavenger hunt frames Valencia’s historic core as a set of puzzles—each clue nudges you from Plaza de Bous and Plaza de Toros to the Cathedral, Plaça de la Mare de Déu and the elegant glass arcade of Mercat de Colón.
