Presentation of Valencia

Although Spain's third-largest city, Valencia is sometimes overlooked by tourists. That's a shame, as a holiday in Valencia makes a hugely appealing prospect. Less crowded than many cities yet with a busy cultural scene and abundant nightlife, this is also one of Spain's greenest cities thanks to the park that now runs through the urban area as a result of flood-prevention schemes. Many people choose our all-inclusive package holidays to Valencia to see the space-age buildings of Santiago Calatrava, but it also has excellent restaurants, winding lanes and fine beaches. To see more of this beguiling Spanish city, get in touch with us.
