Quick info
The Silk Exchange of Valencia
The Valencian Community is the essence of the Levantine Mediterranean, a land bathed in the sun and marked by the imprint of ancient cultures. Its capital, Valencia, is a city that perfectly combines the futuristic avant-garde of the City of Arts and Sciences with the tradition of its historic center and the animation of its Fallas. The region is a tapestry of contrasts: from the endless fine sand beaches and bustling tourist destinations of the Costa Blanca like Benidorm, to the quiet inland towns and rugged mountains of Castellón. It is the birthplace of paella, a place where the orange blossom aroma of its orange groves mixes with the roar of gunpowder at its festivals. Visiting the Valencian Community is immersing yourself in a happy, bright and deeply Mediterranean culture.
