Valencia has a University feel with around 55,000 students, colorful neighborhoods, sandy beaches, and excellent food. It feels more authentic and “lived in” than neighboring tourist hotspot Barcelona.
There are enough sights and things to do in Valencia Spain to easily keep a visitor busy for an entire weekend, or more if you want additional beach time.
Walking or biking the Turia Gardens is a must because the City of Arts and Sciences is located within the park and if you go all the way down the park and continuing following the cycle path you will eventually reach Malvarrosa beach.
