Valencian's love fiestas and delight in sharing their
joy with others. By far the most popular of festivities are the world
famous Fallas (12-19 March), or festive bonfire, with their explosion of
colours, fireworks, and the smell of gunpowder. 
Leisure and entertainment activities in Valencia constitute one of the
most exciting and extensive ranges throughout the Mediterranean.
Everywhere, discos, nightclubs and pubs provide the right kind of scene for
enjoying a night out.
In Valencia, there are many museums to be visited and monuments to be
admired: you cannot miss a visit to the Cathedral and the Royal monastery
of Santa María. 
A fantastic climate and more than 500 kilometres of coast. The Valencia
coast is one of the Spanish coastal areas with the most extensive beaches
and therefore it is decidedly one of the country’s most touristy
areas.
If you want to discover more than just sun and sand, you will find remains
of most remote civilisation, Phoenicians, Greeks, Iberians and
Romans.
No one will believe you on your return if you say you didn’t have
authentic Valencian paella. Trying one is a must!
The province of Valencia is the largest of the three which
go to make up the Valencian community. It is situated in the centre of the
Spanish Mediterranean coastline. It overlooks the spacious Gulf of Valencia
and is skirted at the back by a group of medium-high mountains and rolling
plains leading to the lands of Aragon and Castile-La Mancha. It is opposite
the Balearic islands and equidistant from the country's two major
decision-taking centres: Madrid and Barcelona. Valencia is identified with
the Mediterranean Sea because the culture deriving from the old Mare
Nostrum is manifest in its patterns of social behaviour.
The futuristic face of the city is mirrored on the old
riverbed through the Gulliver Children's park and the leisure and culture
complex., Ciutat de les Arts i de les Ciencies. Life in the city spreads
down to the seafront with the harbour area and the beaches of Las Arenas
and La Malvarrosa.
