With a coast boasting wonderful beaches, the area around Valencia is a pearl of nature. Valencia, the third largest city of the country, is surrounded by orchards and mountain ranges: oranges, mandarins and lemons bring colourful touches to the countryside. Large and cosmopolitan, it has a thriving economic and commercial activity centred on its important fairs and its harbour. The old part of town reflects the beauty of a capital thanks to its numerous monuments.

Maybe another good reason to come to Valencia is to attend one of its numerous and surprising festivals. The “Fallas” are Valencia’s most famous and probably most spectacular festival. Later there is the Three Kings’ arrival ,the festival dedicated to the martyr St. Vicente, patron Saint of the city and the impressive processions of the Holy Week (week preceding and including Easter Sunday)..

If you are a gourmet we suggest you try the best “paella” in Spain while soaking in the sun on Valencia’s market square. Beside this famous rice dish, there are other delicious specialities like “fideuá” (a pasta dish combining seafood and saffron), or “suc de peix” (fish soup) which we can only advise you to try for yourself.

Academia Contacto and its team invite you to come and discover the many facets of this truly interesting city.
