Valencia is a beautiful city and its attractiveness has now taken on a new dimension with the America's Cup and Formula 1.
Spain's third-largest city, Valencia basks on the Mediterranean coast south of Barcelona. Amid rugged mountains and glorious orange groves, the city boasts impressive futuristic architecture, neon-lit fountains, a colourful old town and a bustling beach. The easiest way to explore the city is on the fast, efficient metro trains or, in the central areas, on foot. For a real taste of Valencia, try its famous night-life, arrive during April's Las Fallas festival or try local fire-water, Agua de Valencia.
Cathedral
How could we have a page on things to see without mentioning a city's Cathedral? The particular claim to fame of Valencia cathedral is that it has reputedly been the home of the mythical Holy Grail (the chalice Jesus used at the Last Supper) for the past 500 years. In Plaza Zaragoza where the Cathedral stands is an unfinished 47m Gothic tower called the Miguelete which dates back to the 14th century. It's well worth climbing the tower to get a great view over the city towards the agricultural (huerta) lands beyond.
