Plaza de la Virgen Photo

Photographer’s Note

View of the Cathedral of Valencia and the Plaza de la Virgen from El Miguelete, Gothic belfry of the Cathedral. From here you can admire a panoramic view of Valencia.

View from Valencia this time is a luxury.

No tourist can leave Valencia without having seen the magnificent panorama of the city that is achieved from the top of the Miguelete.

The bell tower of the cathedral 50 meters tall, has some 207 steps up (it's fun routines while turning up because everyone comes up with a different number of steps in the head).
It is advisable to have some legs minimally prepared to exercise. Not suitable for those who are overwhelming in small spaces. This staircase "sealed" can cause claustrophobia in those who are no longer very low conviction climb. So you have to take it easy and be patient because ultimately it's worth.

It is advisable to go for these cases in the company of wanting to throw in the towel, as your colleagues, partners, family ... can you talk if you decide to make a quick stop in the middle of the ascent. The price of tickets (2 €) is symbolic. Do not forget a camera or video.

Hola Luis,

Te has salido con esta foto,
la verdad que has cambiado de estilo y ahora vista de pajaro,
me gusta sobre todo, y tengo gran curiosidad por esas cúpulas azules, las vi en fotos de Altea (Alicante creo), y también en la catedral de Murcia, o cerca de ella, sera un estilo arquitectónico de la costa levantina?
La definición, te ha pasado como a mi, en la foto que publiqué hoy, para mi, demasiada!, pero me gusta hace un efecto gráfico,
la luz y colores fantásticos,
uy hoy me enrrollado demasiado!! Buen trabajo!

Un saludo,
Elena

Hello Luis,

After three days without pc, I am back.
Lovely panorama view about the roofs and square there beneath.
Perhaps a little bit oversharp, but not immediate disturbing
The background care for a excellent composition. TFS.

Warmest regards,
John.

Hi Luis,
The picture is quite nice, with excellent sharpness, correct exposure, natural colours and very well chosen POV. This architecture is very interesting. I'm very impressed. Congratulations!
Best regards,
Darek

Hola Luis.

Muy buen trabajo con la composición, con la luz y con el balance de blancos. Los colores lucen muy atractivos en la foto... pero lo malo de la foto es la esquina inferior derecha y el exceso de definición.
De todas formas, una buena foto desde el Miquelet.

Carlos.

Hola Luis.
Un cambio de aire con esta perspectiva de tu ciudad y desde las alturas, me parece una gran captura, muy bien equilibrada de luz y con un colorido fuerte y atractivo. Espero sigas mostrandonos otros lugares de tu ciudad bajo tu ojo crítico.
Un abrazo.
Luis.
