Our illustrated travel guide will take you to Valencia, Spain.
Valencia is a charming old city and the capital of the Old Kingdom of Valencia province of Spain that is well worth a visit. It is the third Spanish city in terms of importance and population, and the 15th in the European Union. It is on the Mediterranean Sea approximately four hours to the south of Barcelona and three hours to the east of Madrid.
Valencia is famous for its Fallas Festival in March, for being the birthplace of paella, for hosting the 2007 and 2010 America's Cup races, and for the massive architectural project by Santiago Calatrava called The City of Arts and Sciences.
The river Turia used to run through the center of the city, but it was redirected and replaced by a beautiful park. This is a very nice place to spend your free time on a sunny day.
Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand. We include a fully linked Table of Contents and internally to access context-specific information quickly and easily when offline. Many web links are included as well for additional information.
