1. Weather

In Valencia, we have more than 300 days of sunshine and more than 2,500 hours of natural light per year. Maybe that’s why Valencians like to spend a lot of time outdoors, and maybe that’s also why they are open and welcoming.

2. Location

Valencia has a unique location. One of its main attractions is its proximity to the sea. We have several urban beaches where you can stroll, play sports, relax or, weather permitting, take a dip.

3. Size

Not to brag, but our city is a perfect size: it is big enough to be cosmopolitan and small enough to be very family-friendly. And it has all the amenities – you’ll have everything you need!
