4Valencia (Valencian Community)

Valencia may be Spain’s third-largest city, but it balances urban life with coastal charm. Its wide sandy beaches, such as Malvarrosa, are just minutes from the lively city center.

Valencia is also a city of innovation and tradition: the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences contrasts beautifully with its Gothic cathedral and bustling Central Market. Known as the birthplace of paella, it’s also a foodie paradise. For those who want both cultural depth and beachside relaxation, Valencia delivers.
