Free outdoor music next to the Malvarrosa beach, what else? Just in Valencia at La Marina Juan Carlos I , every saturday morning from February till May, time: 11:30 till 14:00. La Marina is an amazing area next to the harbor and Malvarrosa Beach in Valencia. Fantastic for kids and adults. No cars around and nice bars for food and drinks.
The second most important Book fair in Spain with a wide range of cultural activities during May. Dozens of exhibitors where you can find works of all genres and audiences. Also with a program of activities ranging from concerts to musical shows and signatures of authors.
La Feria Andaluza of Valencia, is one of the main spring events in the city.
It is a recreational, cultural and gastronomic reference from Andalucia. The festival is for everyone., to enjoy the Turia riverbed gardens, the Sun, music, good food and drinks all at once in an outdoor place. Best moments, from noon, till late at night.
Fallas, the most amazing festival in the world, at least, for us, the valencian people 😀 . Come and Live it.
The Falles festival was added to UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage of humanity list on 30 November 2016.
From a garden of an arab prince back in the 9th century to the place where the troops of Jaime I in 1238 began the christian conquest of the city. It went through abandonment and marginality during the 70´s and 80´s. Today it has become the focus of all eyes, refuge of artists and designers, paradigm of the modern and alternative, and a hub of nice coffee shops, nice restaurants, bars & clubs.
Valencia’s Old Town is the city’s beating heart. It’s a tangle of mediaeval streets dotted with orange trees and grand monuments like the Silk Exchange, our amazing food market, Mercado Central. Start on a high by scaling the Cathedral’s “Miguelete” Tower for priceless panoramas. Then dive, map-less, into the Carmen neighbourhood and fraternise with locals in every corner.
Transport is easy and cheap in Valencia compare with other European cities. You have different options like Taxi, Metro, or even Bicycle. If you are coming for a few days, forget about the Bus. Metro/Tram is a great option if your destiny is in it´s way, but Taxi is really fast and quite cheap when the metro line is not in your way.
In Valencia city we are lucky to have three beaches together. Las Arenas – La Malvarrosa – La Patacona.
The beach of Las Arenas is one of the most traditional places in Valencia. Since then, Las Arenas has been a place to meet and celebrate with friends and family. Today, the beach of Las Arenas and Malvarrosa, offer modern restaurants and bars, leisure areas and a long promenade that unites them. Next to the beach of Malvarrosa, and separated by a bridge, is the Patacona Beach, with fine sand and a wide promenade.
After a catastrophic flood, in 1957, the river was diverted to the southern part of the capital and in the old channel, already dry. City of Arts and Sciences, the project, designed by the Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava, was carried out for its construction in the old Turia bed.
This district takes its name from its position outside the old city walls. It’s a border-town that straddles old and new Valencia. Main shopping area in Colon street.
