 Pais Valencia is the region
hugging the Mediterranean along the eastern coast of Spain. It
is a lush and fertile area with orange, lemon and peach groves,
and even rice fields irrigated by systems devised by the Moors.
Here you will find deserted beaches, pretty hilltop villages
and the historic towns and cities of Valencia, Alicante and Cartagena.
The region is divided into 3 provinces - Alicante, Castellon
and Valencia. It is bounded to the north by Cataluna and Aragon,
to the west by Castilla-La Mancha, to the south by Murcia and
to the east by the Mediterranean Sea. Every year holiday-makers
are drawn to the beaches of the Costa Blanca, the Costa del Azahar
and the Costa Calida.
Valencia is the capital of the province
of Valencia, located in the middle of a fertile plain of orange
groves and market gardens. It has its own airport and there is
a ferry service with the Balearic Islands.

 Valencia is a port city and the third largest
city in Spain. It enjoys a warm coastal climate and is known
for its exuberant outdoor living and nightlife. Valencia stands
on the Rio Turia, the city centre and ancient winding streets
of the Barrio del Carmen are on the right bank. The three finest
buildings in Valencia date from its cultural and economic height
in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Torres de Serranos is a gateway
that survived the demolition of the medieval walls in the 19th
century, the Cathedral primarily of gothic style has a 223 ft.
high octagonal bell-tower and La Lonja, an exquisite Late Gothic
hall, now recognised as a World Heritage Site. In contrast, the
futuristic City of Arts and Sciences (Ciutat de les Arts i les
Ciencies) contains a science museum, IMAX cinema, and oceanographic
park (photo). |
