El Carmen is neighborhood that grew between the walls (that separated the Arab and Christian quarters) is now one of the centers of leisure and culture of Valencia.

If there is a charismatic street in the neighborhood of El Carmen that would be the Calle Caballeros. It has been said that the knights who accompanied the King Don Jaime in his conquest of Valencia afterwards lived here. The truth is that during hundreds of years the palaces here have aligned next to one another and have left us a unique Valencian civil Gothic style that today we can admire.
