Valencia is Spain's third-largest city and a wonderfully livable place with a thriving cultural, food, and nightlife scene. Consistently voted as the "Greenest City in Europe", Valencia converted its former riverbed into a glorious green ribbon of park winding right through the city, perfect for an afternoon bike ride. Along it are the strikingly futuristic buildings of the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, and Europe's best aquarium, L'Oceanografic. The city is bustling with amazing museums and a characterful old quarter. You'll be eating good in Valencia, as it is the birthplace of famous rice dishes such as paella, and has incredible seafood and Spanish staples such as horchata and tapas.
An incredible city start to finish, we think the best part is the beautiful long stretch of beach, with clean sand and calm Mediterranean water. Come celebrate with us in Valencia and you are sure to fall in love.
A good day trip from Valencia. A medieval town along the Mediterranean Sea with a castle overlooking the beach. However, a rental car is needed to get to this amazing location.
