Welcome to

Valencia

Valencia, the city of... so many things! The city of sunshine, oranges and paella. Of a vast beach and lots of green, to a bustling old center. Valencia is the third largest city of Spain and the city with the most diversity. It is for a reason that this city is gaining in popularity from other holiday destinations.

In Valencia, the sea breeze is still welcome in September and the sun shines 300 days a year.
The city center of Valencia is a little further away from the beach, for which one can find space and tranquility as well as crowds and conviviality. This city offers an incredible amount of rich colors, flavors and history to discover.

Did you know that Valencia suffered a catastrophic flood in 1957? The river Turia, which borders the old town, was diverted in response. In the drained river bed the kilometer-long 'Turia park' was created, a vibrant park full of flora and fauna where one can enjoy cycling or walking on the way to the old town.

& surroundings of Valencia

The province of Valencia is known for its surprising natural phenomena, friendly inhabitants and delicious food. An example is the county of La Canal de Navarrés, where the olive oil is still pressed into old-fashioned stone mills, where funny cigar houses are located along the country roads, and where you can find endless almond and kaki orchards.

Stay in a pleasant, quiet villa in one of the small villages of the region. From the villa you can start one of our challenging hiking trails. There are also plenty of sports activities to do in the area, such as mountain biking and kayaking. By car you can reach in no time clear blue lakes and pools to cool down, or one of the local restaurants where you can order paella prepared on orange wood in advance. Spaniards love to come here with their families.

Did you know that paella origins from Valencia and that besides chicken it also contains rabbit? Paella is originally a leftover dish and is eaten every Sunday by Valencian families.

We all have that one friend in our circles that, as soon as the suggestion for a Christmas dinner has been brought up, has already managed to set a date, to buy presents for all and to put together a proper five-course menu, including matching wines...

4 redenen om nu alvast je reis naar Valencia te boeken

January 15, 2021

Dat je nu niet richting Valencia kan komen is even niet anders. Het wordt ten strengste afgeraden om te reizen en het doen van PCR-testen maakt het reizen naar Spanje en weer terug niet goedkoop. Maar laten we positief blijven en er van uitgaan dat jullie straks gewoon wel van de Valenciaanse lente kunnen genieten. Want dan is Valencia op zijn mooist en daar wil je bij zijn. In deze blog geven we je vier redenen waarom je gewoon alvast moet boeken!

Valencia’s grootste trots: de sinaasappel!

December 22, 2020

Als je Valencia zegt, zeg je sinaasappels en andersom. Dat komt onder andere doordat de straten van de stad van november tot half maart vrolijk groen met oranje gekleurd zijn door de wel 6.000 sinaasappelbomen die de stad telt. Deze sinaasappelbomen zijn decoratief; de sinaasappels die eraan hangen zijn waterig en bitter, maar de bomen zien er wel mooi uit en de geur is evengoed heerlijk!

Dit zijn onze favoriete eet- en drinkspots in Valencia

November 9, 2020
