Resting on Spain’s southeast coast, where the Turia River meets the Mediterranean Sea, the charming port city of Valencia is the capital of the Old Kingdom of Valencia province. The city is renowned for its impressive cultural and architectural complex known as the ‘City of Arts and Sciences’, comprised of a number of futuristic structures including a planetarium, an oceanarium, and an interactive museum. The cobbled alleys of the historic old town are lined with numerous attractions including the bustling marketplace of the grand Plaza del Mercado and the Gothic Valencia Cathedral, home to what many consider to be the authentic Holy Grail. With its thriving nightlife and restaurant scene, quality museums, exquisite Blue Flag beaches, and a characterful historic quarter, it is little surprise that Valencia is developing into a hugely popular tourism centre.
