The Miguelete Tower is the bell tower of the Valencia Cathedral in Valencia, Spain. This Valencian…read moreGothic-style bell tower was built between 1381 and 1424 and access to the tower is from inside the Cathedral by means of a spiral staircase. Entrance is €2 per person. It is 207(ish?) steps to the top in a fairly winding, narrow stair case. Your legs will burn - no, not you Crossfit exercise folk but us always eating our way through our travels sort of folks. You may feel a little nauseated. But the experience is worth it. Pace yourself if you don't work out much. There were lots of people panting and having issues. The view from the top is pretty great, and there's plenty of space to sit to let your legs rest after the hike up. ALSO yes - you have to walk back down said spiral stair case, but it's much easier going down. Just make sure you don't go too fast and lose your step as it's a long way to roll. Note: There is a traffic light system on either end. At the top of the tower, you'll see a red/green light. Red means don't come down as people are coming up and there's really no room (particularly close to the top of the tower) for someone to squish past. There are cameras watching you (operator at the base is the guy you pay your €2 to. And there's a speaker, as he'll tell you how many minutes when you stare and wave at the camera impatiently.

I had never seen such a beautiful church in Valencia (on even in Spain) like this one before. It's…read moreso beautiful and well done. The paintings inside are very in detail and well maintained. It's hard to take your eyes off of the ceiling which is covered with amazing paintings. It reminded me a bit of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The pillars were all painted which are different from many churches. The door of the church is quite hidden. I wouldn't have known that this exists if my friend didn't tell me. El Carmen where is situated always surprises me!!! It's really a gem of Valencia!
