💡 About Valencia
Valencia, Spain's third-largest city on the Mediterranean coast, effortlessly balances a beautifully preserved medieval old town with some of the boldest futuristic architecture in Europe. It is the birthplace of paella, Spain's most iconic dish.
The stunning City of Arts and Sciences, a complex of dazzling white structures designed by Santiago Calatrava, rises like a vision of the future from a former riverbed that has been transformed into a nine-kilometre green park winding through the city.
Valencia enjoys a relaxed, sun-soaked lifestyle, with golden beaches, a vibrant food market and the wild spectacle of Las Fallas, when giant satirical sculptures are paraded and then dramatically burned. It is one of Spain's most underrated and rewarding cities.
