Driving to Valencia

Country: Spain Capital: Madrid Language: Spanish Currency: Euro

Spain’s largest city was once poor and industrial, however that has all changed now as the city boasts one of the liveliest atmospheres in Spain. Being one of the biggest ports in the Mediterreanean, Valencia is today an exporter of food, textiles, ceramics, and furniture.

Remnants of the Roman and Moorish rule can be observed in the churches and palaces that fill the areas of Xerea and Seu, it is also possible to see parts of the wall that once surrounded the city up until the mid-19th century in the Valencia Institut of Modern Arts.

The Serrano Tower, Los Reyes Monastery and Quart Tower are also of interest to tourists, and whilst in the city be sure to try the famous Paella Valenciana.

All of these places are within a few hours drive from Valencia
