Just beyond the city, Valencia’s surroundings come alive with sea, sun, and scenery. Playa de la Malvarrosa and the quieter dunes of El Saler invite long walks and moments of calm, while the shimmering lagoons and rice fields of Albufera Natural Park offer peaceful boat rides and the chance to spot flamingos in flight. Traditional villages like El Palmar serve riverside paella, and nearby Cullera’s cliffs and Sagunto’s ancient ruins reveal dramatic views and give insight into the region’s rich history.

Every March, Valencia bursts into colour and spectacle for Las Fallas. Streets, squares, and neighbourhoods light up with towering, intricate sculptures, vibrant fireworks, and the scent of local delicacies drifting from bustling stalls. Daytime parades, music, and flamethrower displays give way to dramatic nightly firework shows, culminating in the thrilling “cremà,” when the sculptures are set alight, filling the city with warmth, excitement, and unforgettable energy.

Good to know:

Valencia can be enjoyed throughout the year, with each season offering its own charm, from sunlit summer days to mild, peaceful winters. The local currency is the Euro (€), and while cards are widely accepted, having a little cash is handy for markets and small cafés. The city is easy to explore on foot, while buses, trams, and the metro make longer journeys simple, and cycling offers a relaxed, scenic way to get around.
