VALENCIA OVERVIEW:

This city on the shores of the Mediterranean is two thousand years old. Today, two branches of the River Turia hold it in their embrace, creating a fertile region of orchard lands. The city used to be the capital of the former Kingdom of Valencia encircled by walls until the 19th century and is the third largest city in today’s Spain. Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Jews and Christians have all made it their home and left their mark here. This rich history, together with the colourful traditions, the wonderful climate and recent cutting-edge urban regeneration projects make Valencia a great place to visit.

CLIMATE:

The subtropical, Mediterranean climate means it enjoys very mild winters and long, warm to hot summers. Even in the coldest month of January the temperature typically ranges from 10C to 20C.
