Lliria Spain
Lliria is an ancient, traditional Spanish town approx 20 kms from Valencia City. Valencia is a beautiful region of Spain. Situated half way down the Mediterranean coast it enjoys the perfect climate, not too hot and not too cold or wet. Even in mid-winter this region of Spain seldom sees temperatures drop below freezing except in the mountains. The area benefits from a range of popular beaches and a mountainous interior. The farmlands consist of a patchwork of orange groves, almond tree and vegetable fields. The almond blossom provides a lovely show of white or pink flowers in February which are a pleasure to look on as you drive along the motorway.
The Phoenicians, Cathaginians, Greeks, Romans and Moors have all owned this piece of the world at some time in history. El Cid expelled the Moors in 1094 but after his death in 1099 the region again became an arab stronghold until 1238.
In the 1930s Valencia put up an impressive show of resistance to Franco's troops and this region was the last region of Spain to fall under Franco's rule. In 1977 the region finally gained autonomy.
Today the resorts of Valencia are popular with Spanish and foreigners alike. The region is particularly popular with people from Madrid many of whom own second homes here. It is also popular with French tourists who can simply drive down the motorway and is becoming increasing popular with the British and other nationalities. Valencia is a beautiful region of Spain.

The Lliria / Domeno area
Las Fallas
A reason in itself to visit Valencia, this five day fiesta commences on the 15th March.
During this period the city explodes into life with round-the-clock partying, fireworks, concerts, street markets and processions. One such procession, known as the ‘Ofrenda’, features a two day long stream of flower bearers proceeding to decorate a huge effigy of the Virgin Mary outside the city cathedral. The scent of millions of flowers wafts through the city streets.
A daily firework display known as the ‘Mascleta’ takes place at 2pm in the City Hall Square. While it lasts just ten minutes the explosions build in intensity to a point where you can actually feel the earth move! Locals tell you to watch with an open mouth not just because of the spectacle but also to stop your ear drums bursting!
Perhaps the best known aspect of the Fallas are the more than 500 sculptures or ‘Ninots’ which are created during the preceding 12 months. These often comical papier-mâché creations can be up 60 feet tall. Street parties are held around these statues in many of the main squares. On the night of the 19th these inspired works of art are systematically set alight - with fire engines in attendance – in an orgy of fire called ‘La Crema’! Within minutes, a year of creative work is just a pile of ashes, the only consolation being yet another reason for a party!
The origin of Fallas has long been associated with the welcoming of spring by Valencia’s many carpenters. Off-cuts of wood were supposedly piled into the street and set alight on St. Joseph’s Day, the patron saint of carpenters. As with La Tomantina (see later) it seems a small annual event has just escalated into an internationally renowned fiesta. During Fallas the population of Valencia doubles to around 3,000,000.
Moors & Christians - Alcoy, Valencia
Every April a re-enactment of a famous, if partially mythical battle, between Moors and Christians takes place in Alcoy. As with Fallas, preparation starts at the end of each fiesta for the following year. Armies of Moors or Christians, known as Filaes, work around the year to prepare for each April fiesta.
The mock battle sees participants dressed in lavish costumes which are judged during the fiesta. The winners donate their costumes to the Moors & Christians Museum. The culmination of the battle is the firing of hundreds of blank bullets making this one of the nosiest of all Spanish fiestas. At the end of the battle, St Georges flag triumphs and is raised overhead with pride.
A fiesta to attend if you enjoy ceremony, history, equestrian displays – and noise!
La Tomatina
A short drive from Valencia takes you to the normally sleepy town of Buñol, which plays host to a surreal vegetable battle on the last Wednesday of every August. La Tomatina appears to have started in the 1940’s when a crowd of boisterous friends began pelting each other with tomatoes in the town square. Inevitably onlookers were drawn in and so much fun was had that it has become a yearly event.
A crowd of around 30 000 fruit fans now gather annually for the world’s greatest food fight. From early Wednesday morning residents and businesses cover their doors and windows in preparation for the red onslaught.
The battle commences when huge trucks, laden with tomatoes make their way through the crowds and officials in the back unload their messy cargo for waiting participants. From this moment no one is safe, tourists are particularly attractive targets, and tax men leave town!
Around 60 000 pounds of tomatoes explode in 30 minutes, and everyone has a great time. Clothes may get frayed but tempers do not! After the battle a yearly competition starts to clean up the mess in record time to restore the town to its former glory. This is a celebration not to be missed.
Do go! Don’t wear your designer clothes!
Mercado
Valencia’s covered food market is renowned as one of the best in Europe and boasts an immense selection of fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetables all under one roof. If it’s edible, even vaguely, you’ll find it here! Not for the faint hearted - but if you’re considering living in Spain this something you will learn to enjoy.
Cathedral
Built over a period between the 13th and 15th centuries and subject to extensive alterations in the 18th century this fine cathedral is a mixture of architectural styles and houses the Holy Grail – or so they say.
Barrio Carmen
The oldest part of the city, comprising dark and narrow alleyways crammed with shops, houses, palaces and bars. This is the city’s historic centre. Perhaps the busiest and most atmospheric area for an evening stroll and street side people watching!
Estacion Del Norte
This train station in the centre of the city is a modernist architectural masterpiece. Stroll around the building and admire the intricate details shaped in crystal, wood and marble.
Bullring
Next to the station is the city’s magnificent bullring. It plays host not only to the bullfights but also to numerous concerts and live events throughout the year.
Torres De Serrano and Quart
Two immense Gothic entrance towers to what was the walled city of Valencia. The defence wall that ringed the city was dismantled in the middle of the 19th century. The Quart tower now houses a locksmith museum.
Museums
These can be found throughout the city and cover a wide variety of interests. Particularly worthwhile visiting are the Paleonthelogic Museum, the National Ceramic Museum, the Museum of the Fallero Artist and the Museum of Natural Science. If all this gets too exciting check out the Rice Museum!
City of Arts and Science
An immense pharaonic project aimed at expanding the city into what was the abandoned wasteland to the east of the city centre. This is Valencia’s equivalent to the London docklands. Comprising L’Hemiferic, the Museum of Science, the Oceanographic park, and the Palace of Arts this area covers some 90 acres.
It represents modern Valencia at its extravagant best. Stunningly futuristic architecture has to be seen to be appreciated. Allow at least half a day per attraction to get the best from this visit.

Ivam
One of the finest modern art museums in Europe, with both permanent and visiting exhibitions. Late summer opening hours and free jazz performances have made this a popular venue to meet friends.
Turia gardens
An example of good emerging from bad. Disastrous floods in 1957 caused great loss of life and resulted in an ambitious plan to divert the river Turia around the city. The now redundant riverbed that travels through the heart of the city has been turned into a wonderful garden and recreation area full of sporting and leisure facilities. It is ideal for a stroll and for crossing the city away from the crowds and traffic.
La Feria
One of the largest exhibition centres in Europe, this modern series of building hosts exhibitions of all types throughout the year.
Beaches
These are to found all around the city, north, south, east but not west! Beaches awarded the European blue flag for quality can be found just to the north and south of the city. They range from quiet local beaches on the outskirts to the cosmopolitan Malvarosa promenade just minutes from the city centre. Ports to the north and south of the city are perfect for leisure activities or trips to the Balearic Islands.
Football
Valencia is now established as one of Europe’s top teams – as any Arsenal fan will regrettably confirm. The crowd atmosphere is both electric and good humoured. This is living proof that football can be enjoyed by all the family and even watched without rain or Bovril!
Golf
Many fine courses exist around Valencia, within minutes of the city. The most famous being El Saler – publicly owned and ranked as one of the best 50 courses in the world. El Bosque and El Scorpion clubs are well known for their golf and hospitality facilities. Several more courses are planned for the near future.
Motorsport
The Circuito de Cheste is a recently completed all seat race track used by F1 Williams as their test circuit. It is located minutes from Valencia just off the main road to Madrid. Prices are sensible while facilities and viewing positions are excellent. This track plays host to both World Superbike and Motor GP events.
Sierra Calderona Nature Park
Just 22 miles to the north-west of Valencia, in the direction of Lliria, is the newly declared Sierra Calderona nature park. It boasts over 65 square miles of unspoilt mountains and Mediterranean pine forests. The highest peaks reach 3.330 feet and offer views of the sea. Wildlife includes: boars, foxes, weasels, squirrels, civet cats, and badgers. The park is open to visitors and crossed with well-marked footpaths.

Nice quiet villa with a lovely pool. The villa is in a small urbanisation which is off the main tourist track. I have been here twice and thoroughly enjoyed both trips. The villa has a nice garden area and a pool where you can unwind and relax. The villa is fairly enclosed so does not have views of the surrounding countryside, but the greenery within the villa itself does help to compensate for this. It is only a short drive away to rivers, lakes and the national park. Valencia and the coast are within driving distance. The lounge is fairly spacious and the kitchen, is quite adequate if you want to do your own cooking. The air conditioning units in the lounge and main bedroom are a godsend in the heat of the summer, although the other bedrooms just have fans so tend to be a bit warmer. Older teenage children may require more trips out to keep them happy. For getting out anywhere I recommend a car. You could probably make it to nearby Domeno on foot if you're the expeditionary type, where you'll find a local restaurant, bar/cafe and a small shop. The supermarkets in Lliria are within a short drive. In my opinion, the villa represents very good value for money. |
