Back in the 14th and 15th centuries, Valencia was the economic and cultural capital of the Mediterranean, and today the city is a mix of both old and new.

Valencia is an attractive city with endless attractions for both the young and old alike.

The city itself sits on a dry river bed that has been converted into parks and gardens, making Valencia one of Europe´s greenest cities.

        

Amongst the greenery, you will find excellent shopping facilities, museums, art galleries, restaurants and one of the largest and best food markets in Europe.

The central market covers around 8,000 square metres, and the abundance of fresh fish, fruit and vegetables on display is quite astounding.

        

The countryside surrounding Valencia is known as Spain´s market garden and this is where the majority of fruit and vegetables are grown.

Beautiful white sand beaches stretch along the coastline from Valencia and with average year round temperatures of 16.7 degrees centigrade, these can be enjoyed throughout most months of the year.

Valencia also has the privilege of hosting the Americas Cup

All in all, the Valencia region is a perfect place to live, and with property prices increasing rapidly it is an excellent investment too.
