It’s not a horror tour, but amongst the buildings… medieval, fresh centenarians and centuries of stories, it’s a great way to start the day before heading out for a night of Halloween fun.

The so-called All Souls’ Night was dedicated to the memory of the the deceased and even today, some Valencian municipalities are reviving this tradition with parades, chestnuts, roasted pumpkin and traditional events.
