Your flight to Valencia takes you to one of Spain’s regional capitals, dating back to the 2nd century. Don’t miss the Baroque façade of the Palacio del Marqués de Dos Aguas or Goya paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia.
Explore times gone by at the Cathedral with its unfinished Miguelete bell tower and Holy Grail legend. For Valencia’s living culture visit the City of the Arts & Sciences, including the aquarium and performing arts palace.
Escape the crowds with a picnic in Valencia’s green paradise, the Jardínes del Turia, or practise your sailing before the 2007 America’s Cup. Or spend a day at the Playa de la Malvarrosa (just a few minutes from Valencia).
The people of Valencia love their olive oil but most of all their paella, and they have made an art of it, particularly with seafood. Wash it down with a cold glass of Agua de Valencia (cava with fresh local orange juice).
