Valencia is a small city on the southern coast of Spain. Commonly traveled past on routes between western Spain and Barcelona, if you’re stopping off in this city you must check out these things to see and do.

Visit the Cathedral

Valencia’s cathedral claims to hold the real holy grail, the vessel from which Jesus drank at the Last Supper. It boasts stunning architecture and is visited by many thousands of people each year.

Head to the Beach

Valencia is a coastal city, so why not make the most of that hot sun and head to the beach? It’s accessible through public transport from the city center, and once there you can hire a deckchair for the day for as little as $5.

Taste the Local Dishes

Paella is famous throughout this region, so if you’re heading out for dinner, try and track down a Valencian paella. Most of the larger restaurants in the city center will offer this fragrant dish but do beware of those seeking to overcharge tourists.
