A historic city that links the attraction of a great city with the charm of the Mediterranean. Valencia has one of the mildest climates in Europe, so can be enjoyed at any time of the year. More than 30 museums, varied and healthy gastronomy, a historic center full of legends, avant-garde constructions, trade and effervescent parties, natural spaces, varied sport activities and nightlife await the visitor.

The Cabanyal Canyamelar in Valencia is one of the most important maritime villages in Europe, with its varied “modernist” architecture and typical buildings that were the Valencian “Barraca”. An old fishermen’s and sailor´s area which still retains the essence of its streets, and that during the days of the “Semana Santa” (Holy Week or Passion Week of Eastern) becomes the center of the attention with its traditional processions, unique in the city.

Every year, the neighborhoods of Cabanyal-Canyamelar and Grao are the scene of the “Semana Santa Marinera”, the Holy Week of Valencia. One of the most characteristic religious celebrations in the city. Around thirty brotherhoods celebrate with authentic devotion the Processions which officially begin on the Palm Sunday (Domingo de Ramos), and finish on Easter Sunday.

The Fallas is the most international festival in Valencia, declared World Heritage by the UNESCO since 2016. In a competition of art and ingenuity the city fills with gigantic plasterboard monuments. More than 700 figures in the streets and squares of the city, that can reach up to 20 meters in height, and that the fire devours in a singular spectacle the night of the “Cremá”. Colorful parades of the “Fallero” commissions, the flower offering to the Virgin crowns the traditions. Street parties, fireworks, horseback parades, bullfights, competitions and other entertaining events complete the program of these festivities.
