TRIP-TIPS
With splendid temperatures, especially in the spring and autumn, Valencia makes the perfect location for water activities at the beach.
For those not afraid of the sea and who like a bit of healthy competition a sailing regatta is definitely recommended. This activity can be done in groups and is an exciting experience.
If it is your first time that is totally fine because no experience is needed, the group will be accompanied by professional skippers during the whole activity. They give the group instructions and teach you all about the basics that you will need.
ACCOMMODATION
Now that Valencia is becoming one of the more popular destinations, we can see the market adjusting to the demand. The offers of hotels are growing so we are always on the lookout for new and trendy locations.
We can recommend you plenty of hotels, such as the 5* Hotel Palau de la Mar Valencia. A hotel in a dignified mansion from the 19th century, completely renovated and decorated, with art and fantasy being the most important ingredients.
Or 4* Silken Hotel Puerta Valencia, with its unique and new hotel concept. Centrally located and with perfect service, including design and outstanding architecture.
GASTRONOMY
Also for the lovers of gastronomy, Valencia has much to offer. In this city you will find plenty of good restaurants including Michelin starred ones, a pick-and-mix with something for everyone. A typical but cosy Spanish restaurant that will give you a good feel of the local culture, or a trendier restaurant serving authentic Spanish food.
Trying the Valencian paella is an absolute must, since this delicious dish was founded right here! A trip by boat to the rice fields in Albufera will amaze you!
