I can say that there is a very beautiful cup on display in the Valencia Cathedral that they claim is the Holy Grail. It is a main tourist attraction and you can buy post cards and everything. This would probably please Wagner, who put the grail castle up the coast at Montserrat (in Parsifal). Or maybe that's why he did it. For chauvinists, however, similar claims have sometimes been made for the Antioch cup on display right here in New York, at the cloisters.
