Valencia is the capital of Valencia and one of the most important tourist destinations of our coasts. Travels to Valencia arrive each year with more than 5 million tourists attracted by the wide range of leisure and entertainment in the city. It’s international airport is just 8 km from the city center.

Valencia’s climate is enviable, a typical Mediterranean climate where winters are very mild with average temperatures of 19º. Summers are long, hot and fairly dry. We can say that Valencia is part of the warmest considered cities in the country where the statistics say that there are more than 300 days of sunshine a year.  It is not surprising then that it is a tourist destination of first order in both summer and winter.

For its vast historical and cultural heritage, its spacious natural parks and gardens, amazing beaches, such as the urban Playa de la Malvarrosa or Playa del Saler, which are much wilder among pines and dunes, or its infinite leisure and entertainment with architecture, Valencia has become a major tourist destination worldwide.
