It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar, and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars. Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.
Valencia is Spain's third largest city and has experienced a cultural renaissance in recent years. Situated along the Mediterranean coast, Valencia boasts kilometers of paradisaical beaches, beautiful seaside promenades, fascinating architecture and a mild, sunny climate.
