Valencia map and area information
 Spain’s third largest city, Valencia, is set right in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula's Mediterranean coastline.
Enamoured by the deeply scented orange groves and the sparkle of the Mediterranean, this "city of flowers" enjoys its fertile position, with many parks, between branches of the river Turia, on the Gulf of Valencia. The Balearic islands of Ibiza, Majorca and Menorca lie at a distance offshore.
From Valencia, the surrounding rolling plains stretch outwards, towards Aragon and Castilla-La Mancha.
 Valencia holds strong roots with typically rich Spanish culture, continuing the traditions in Flamenco, artisan crafts and events in the bloody bullfighting arenas.
However, the regions' own unique attributes also include the literally wacky tomato-fight event La Tomatina, the spectacular fire festival of Las Fallas, and its own claim on the Spanish paella. Valencia is the undisputed creator and perfector of this world-renowned dish; the authentic version of which is only available here and on every menu across the city.
 In contrast, Valencia offers up a hugely modern selection of leisure activities. For sports fanatics, there's the Formula One street circuit race, the Valencia FC football grounds in the Mestalla district or the golf courses at El Saler.
Valencia also prides itself in its blue flag golden beaches, such as the city-central Las Arenas or Malvarrosa, the nearby Benicàssim electro rock music festival, or shopping in the Calle Colón district. This city has something for everyone.

Valencia, a city of rennaissance
 Valencia is a city of true rennaissance. Roman and Arabic ruins in Ciutat Vella are complemented by modernist beauty and ultra-design at the City of Arts and Sciences, created by Valencia’s own famed architect, Santiago Calatrava.
This impressive space incorporates five stunningly space-age facilities for leisure, entertainment and culture.
To name just two; the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia for performing arts and the L’Oceanogràfic aquarium.
 Around the old El Carmen quarter you’ll find dazzling examples of old-world Spain, in history and culture.
Soak up the atmosphere at the Mercado Central or the Gothic silk exchange, one of Europe’s oldest marketplaces, tour the crypts of Sant Vincente prison, see the medieval towers of Serranos or de Quart and visit the exquisitely Spanish religious monuments. The Museo del Seu, located beside the Valencia cathedral, has popular archaeological interest, as it is the reputed final resting place of the Holy Grail.

Valencia for the Arts
Enthusiasts of the Arts will not be disappointed. The Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM), near the botanic gardens of El Carmen, offers up a fine collection of 20th century Spanish art, while the MUVM museum, located just down the street, explores the intellectual history of the age of enlightenment in 18th century Spain, through exhibits and events.
Another must-visit is the Museo de Bellas Artes, near the Patraix area, with paintings by El Greco, Goya and Ribera, among many others.

Valencian party spirit
Valencians are known for their passionate party spirit and this is not surprising, given the nightlife scene here.
24-hour street parties, beach bar glamour at the Port and Malvarossa, alongside late-night tapas dining and bar-hopping around Canovas and Juan Llorens, serve to keep the young-at-heart at a lively pulse until sunrise.
The Las Fallas fire festival in mid-March is an excuse for fun and activity for all. Join in the parades, live concerts and family events, during this much-celebrated Valencian tradition.
