On the east coast of Spain you will find the country's third largest city, Valencia. The city has the busiest port on the west coast of the Mediterranean and handles about 20 percent of Spain's exports. In addition to cargo ships, there are many passenger ships from the port to, among others. a Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera and Cabrera).
The climate is warm almost all year round, with a small dip in December - February. The high summer in June - August offers temperatures around 30 degrees and the risk of rain is very low during this period. It is said that Valencia will be one of Europe's most sun-safe cities.
Valencia's old town El Carmen is located in the middle of the city and is incredibly cozy and genuine. Lots of new and old architecture mingle with classic tapas bars. Feel free to visit the old silk exchange, La Lonja, which is a UNESCO-labeled Gothic building from the 15th century.
In Valencia you can visit Europe's largest (third largest in the world) Aquarium Oceanogràfic. Well worth a visit! The aquarium is divided into different habitats such as the Arctic, the Tropics and the Oceans. Here is also one of the world's largest dolphinariums.
A big advantage of visiting a coastal city like Valencia is that you can easily combine the metropolitan pulse with a day at the beach. The four kilometer long sandy beach La Malvarrosa is incredibly popular with both tourists and locals. On the beautiful promenade there are simpler restaurants where you can enjoy a paella and a glass of wine.
The Spanish classic Paella, originates from Valencia. The tasty, saffron-yellow rice dish originated in the early 18th century and is available in endless variations. The original Paella Valencia contains i.a. a rice, chicken, rabbit and beans. Varieties with seafood are also very common.
Valencia is the largest region in Spain for citrus exports. There are miles of orchards, clementines and lemons here. Eating an orange that has ripened on the tree is a taste experience you must not miss, a big difference from those that have ripened in a cargo area!
