A gesture of love |
Various venues Valencia, Valencia Spain |
October 9th is an important day in the Valencian calendar. This is when romantic young men wrap up specially decorated and shaped marzipan sweets - Piuletes and Tronadors in silk handkerchiefs - Mocaors and give them to their girlfriends as a demonstration of their affection. The Church has designated the 9th as Saint Dionysius' Feast Day, and he has become the local version of Saint Valentine. It's also Valencia region's official holiday to celebrate the triumphant entrance of Jaime I into the city after defeating the Moors in battle hundreds of years ago. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The world's oldest common justice system |
Plaza de la Virgen Valencia 46001 Spain +34 96 391 8127 |
You can watch this ancient system of justice take place at the cathedral's Puerta de los Apóstoles (Door of the Apostles) every Thursday. The Tribunal de las Aguas (Water Tribunal) was set up by Jaime I to regulate the distribution of the River Turia's water for irrigation. The irrigation system itself was designed and built by the Moors. The judges are eight ordinary workers who each represent a different irrigation network. It's their job to sort out the inevitable problems and conflicts between users. They are elected for two year terms of office, wear traditional smocks and hand down their sentences orally in the Valencian language. There is no right of appeal. The speed of this particular justice system and its longevity have made it world-famous. Review © 2007, Wcities |
