Welcome to Valencia
About the City
Lively,
warm and welcoming, Valencia is Spain's third largest city and birthplace
of its most famous dish - paella. Refreshingly non touristy,
it is blessed with beautiful weather, lively nightlife, an excellent
fine arts museum, and an atmospheric old town.
Valencia
is located at the Mediterranean sea, and you will find beaches right
in the very heart of it. So, if you want to spend holidays at the
beach, with fantastic possibilities for any kind of sports (golf,
diving, cycling, tennis, etc. all are very popular here) and a boiling
nightlife, together with an ample cultural offer, then Valencia is
the place for you.
Important trade fairs confirm Valencia's position as one of the most
dynamic cities in Spain.
Then Valencia is of course the city where "El Cid", Spain's
national hero, fought against the Moors, and popular festivals in
the city and many villages around still remind of this epoch.
