Valencia Vacation Guide

Valencia is one of the few cities that is able to combine so harmoniously the remains of history, as far away as 138 B.C., together with the most modern, avant-garde buildings to be erected in the new millennium.

Valencia equates to commerce, culture, cinema, theatre, museums, music, business. It is a place of international and avant-garde design, definitely one of the most attractive cities in Europe to hold fairs and conventions.

Thanks to its location, Valencia has been the Spanish gateway to the Mediterranean, possessing the special charm that most seaport cities have. The fine sand and crystal waters, the vastness of the open sea, and the proximity of the coastal mountain range give the Valencian coast a unique appeal.

There are outstanding beaches and dunes at Canet d’En Berenguer, where the coastline becomes leisurely and residential, as it does to the north of the Valencian capital, where small tourist towns (La Pobla de Farnals, Alboraya, and El Puig) have emerged.

In addition, the beaches of La Malvarrosa and Levante offer a wide variety of places to dine and enjoy a quiet evening by the sea. To the south, nature becomes predominant at Saler Beach and in the L’Albufera Nature Reserve, the sun can be enjoyed in unique surroundings. The beaches of Cullera, Gandía and Oliva combine beautiful landscapes with a number of sporting and recreational facilities, such as volleyball.

It also now hosts Formula 1.

Valencia is also the location for the annual festival of Las Fallas. A fire works and fire celebration that lasts for a week.
