A weekly sessionHis weekly meeting every Thursday of the year at 12pm, on the right side of Gothic Door of the Apostles of the Cathedral of Valencia, is an unavoidable apppointment for tourists, school visits, pedestrians who congregate around waiting for that neighboring bells from the "Micalet" stoke the twelve hours to watch their session. -
A model of justiceWe must not get to the erroneous conclusion that it is a folk and ineffective institution that tradition has bequeathed us: therefore , after that simplicity and simplicity of operation, devoid of complicated protocols and legal formulas, a model of justice that farmer from the plain has been respected in an ancient institution that has survived all legislative reforms.
