The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Valencia Province region
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. 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.
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.
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.
Moors & Christians (Alcoy, Valencia): Every April a re-enactment of a famous, if 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.
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. A once in a lifetime experience!
Beaches: Beaches awarded the European blue flag for quality can be found just to the north and south of Valencia. They range from quiet local beaches on the outskirts to the cosmopolitan Malvarossa 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.
Golf: There are plenty of quality courses in the Valencia area. 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. 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.
