The City and Province of Valencia

 

Beautiful Valencia

A mixing pot of culture and history!

Overlooking the Gulf of Valencia, the capital of the Valencian community is situated at the heart of Spain's mediterranean coastline. A densely populated area with a rich and colourful background, the city is awash with architecture dating back to Roman and Arab times.

From the old city walls and towers which once stood tall for the protection of the city to its Gothic Cathedral and Basilica, each telling a tale of varying rules and worship. Modern Valencia also proudly boasts contemporary architectural monuments such as the Ciutat de les Arts and the Music palace

With bustling squares and gardens and a thriving tourist industry, there's something here for everyone. Famous for its paellas and its tortilla espanola (a potato omelette) as well as a vibrant nightlife, you're sure to enjoy your time in Valencia just as much when you're away from the F1 circus as you are when the action heats up on the streets of Valencia
