You’ll find plenty of orange trees here, but the fruit known as the "Valencia orange" was actually developed in California. Travelers interested in local food should focus on paella instead. While the city contains many monuments, Valencia’s modern crown jewel is the City of Arts and Sciences, a futuristic complex of museums, cinemas, theaters, and more.

This is effectively the ex river bed now extensive and delightful park area which has been shaped and honed so that it has something for everyone in terms of sports facilities, water features, floral displays, natural tree shade, walking / cycling paths/routes etc. You can stroll around any part of this city park and enjoy it and/or just sit a while and read a book. Colourful and cared for it never disappoints and is well worth a visit !!

I spent the afternoon out here at the lakes of Albufera and had a really good time as the sunset over the water. I found some funky bars by the water after the sun had set and ended up having the best night with some locals. The walks about the lakes are great for nature lovers and just for a bit of peace and quiet also.

What a delightful place. More of a warm than 'hot' spring, but fine for swimming - even in January. Bit tricky getting out afterwards as none of the steps seemed to go down much below the waterline, so needed to use the large rocks just below the steps, but these were slippery, though negotiable with flip flops. The sun was warm enough to dry us off a bit afterwards. The spring was deep enough, and long enough for a decent swim. It was a new experience being at eye level with a few ducks! Had no problem parking the car and used it to provide a bit of privacy when changing; might be a bit harder at the height of season possibly? Didn't use the cafe as we'd brought our lunch with us. We loved the spring and look forward to using it again next time we're in the area, especially at this time of year when the sea felt a bit too chilly. Ideally take a pair of flip flops to slip on for exiting the spring, or some pool shoes you can swim in. A couple of folding chairs would also be good, although there were plenty of rocks around the edge for sitting or lying on. A wonderful experience being able to swim outside in the winter. Highly recommended.
