Valencia
Valencia is one of the most vibrant, forward thinking and cosmopolitan cities in Spain and it is the country’s third largest city. Valencia is very proud of its dedication to forward thinking architecture and cultural projects. The well-known and famous City of Arts and Sciences has to be seen to be believed. A cultural centre stretching over 2 km and made up of buildings and open spaces that look like they are straight out of a science fiction film.
Valencia is known for its old town - El Carmen. This area is the home of important buildings including the Cathedral, the Art Deco food market and the Ceramics Museum. It is also the place to head for a spot of Valencia’s famously good shopping opportunities. The small streets surrounding the cathedral are jam-packed with small bars, tapas joints and clubs.
The city is also a wonderful place to head if you fancy relaxing in the outdoors. Not only does it boast 13 km of golden sandy beaches, but there are also parks and gardens throughout the city offering tranquillity and beauty. The riverbed of the River Turia has been dried out and now offers 9 km of parks and botanical gardens that cut right through the heart of the city. The Valencia Bioparc is a zoo unlike any other, designed to feel as though you have been air-dropped into the heart of Africa.
Weather. Valencia has an average temperature of 19 °C and a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers. It is an ideal destination to visit all year round.
