Visit Valencia
Spain's third largest city, with over one
million inhabitants, Valencia is a skilful blend of tradition and modernity.
How could it be anything else? Founded by the Greeks two thousand years ago,
occupied by Carthaginians and Visigoths, in turn Roman, Arabian and finally
Christian, this large Mediterranean city is multilayered. It is also a
hot-blooded city. Of course, the climate is particularly mild here and the
taste for fiesta is in no way inferior to that of Barcelona. But Valencia is
also a city of protest with a resolute character. The city repelled the
soldiers of Napoleon's Old Guard but welcomed the Republican troops with
open arms in 1939, after the fall of Catalonia.
It is also - and has been for a long time - a forward-looking city. Evidence
of this can be seen in its City of Arts and Sciences and its Oceanographic
Museum (the third largest in the world), which attract almost as many
visitors as the museums of Madrid. In a few months' time the brand new opera
house will open, built, like the rest, by Santiago Calatrava, Valencia's
emblematic architect.

This region has an excellent all year round climate for holidaymakers who like
guaranteed sunshine. Spring and autumn are lovely seasons - midday temperatures
are often reach 20ºC In July and August the temperature regularly reaches 30ºc
to 35º and often more inland. People (mostly tourists!) sunbathe and even swim
all year round even on sunny winter or autumn days. A Mediterranean climate
(hot, dry summers with mild winters) dominates the weather in this region,
although there are slight regional variations between the coast and inland. For
example in Benidorm in the winter, the average maximum temperature is 18º C and
in summer 32ºC. The sun shines every year for nearly 3,000 hours on the coast
and average temperatures vary between 24- 32º C in summer and 12-20º C in
winter.
