alencia is the third largest city in Spain and one of the most vibrant, forward thinking and cosmopolitan cities in the country. It is it is able to harmoniously combine the remnants of its farthest past, dating to the year 138 BC, with the most innovative and avant-garde buildings from the new millennium.
Valencia is trade and culture, cinema, theatre, museums, magic, business. It is the centre of international and avant-garde design, and one of the most active cities in Europe regarding fairs and conferences. Thanks to its location, it has historically been Spain’s Mediterranean port and has that special charm of cities that are also seaports. The fine sand and clean water, the vastness of the sea and the closeness of the coastal mountains make their coast uniquely attractive. Valencia is very proud of its dedication to forward thinking architecture and cultural projects. The best example is the City of Arts and Sciences, a cultural centre stretching over 2 km and made up of buildings and open spaces that look like they are straight out of a science fiction film. This city is also a wonderful place to head if you fancy relaxing in the outdoors. Not only does it boast 13 km of golden sandy beaches, there are also parks and gardens throughout the city offering tranquillity and beauty. The riverbed of the River Turia has been dried out and now offers 9 km of parks and botanical gardens that cut right through the heart of the city. Whatever you look for, Valencia will have what you are after!
