Beaches in Valencia
Valencia and its surrounding area are blessed with many beautiful beaches. The city centre beach combines wide areas of the finest white sand, a light breeze and obviously the Mediterranean sun and sea and highlights why Valencia holidays are so popular. You can be sight-seeing and visiting museums one moment and the next you could be soaking up the sun and buzzing atmosphere on a beautiful Mediterranean playa. Out of the city itself and just a short bus strip south the beaches get even better. El Saler and La Devesa are blue flag beaches where the sea is a gorgeous blue and the water temperature in the summer tends to be quite high.
Explore Valencia
Although Valencia is Spain’s third largest city it is still fairly compact, manageable and easy to get around. Most of your Valencia holiday can be enjoyed on foot although there are buses, trams, a metro and of course relatively inexpensive taxis. The city centre is bordered on three sides by the Gran Vias (attractive tree-lined avenues) and on the fourth by the Río Turía, a park that was once a river. Just across the river you will find the port and Valencia’s beaches. A good place to start exploring Valencia is the centre – here you will find many of the historical sights, shops, restaurants, bars and cafes. Moving out from the centre you will pass through the Rio Turia, an area of gardens, fountains, sports grounds, children's playgrounds, cafes, natural areas, woods, a Music Palace, an Opera house, a Science Park and an Oceanarium. The park has earned the Valencia a great reputation as one of the greenest city holiday destinations in Europe. No visit to Valencia would be complete without a visit to the beach, sandy and sunny with a lively atmosphere thanks to its city location, the beach is definitely a very pleasant surprise. The beaches are just minutes from the centre using the metro and are lined with a popular promenade where you can enjoy a wealth of restaurants, bars and cafes and watch people walk, jog and rollerblade back and forth. Complete your Valencia holiday by ordering some of the best paella and seafood in the area from one of the promenade restaurants overlooking the beach.
