Valencia

No one does beach cities like the Spanish, and there is truly none like Valencia. The inviting Mediterranean coastline sparkles alongside a vibrant city packed with culture, art and historical buildings.
If you manage to tire of the well kept beaches, catered for by a stellar line up of bars and restaurants, you can seek some shade in the old town. Intricate architecture and World Heritage Sites are dotted throughout the maze of narrow streets, offering a glimpse into the city’s Moorish origins. This area is at its best at night – where cafes, bars and restaurants are thronged with locals, for whom dining out is an important part of life. And who can blame them – an encyclopaedic array of tapas or a long leisurely meal while you watch the city buzz by is a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Marina Beach Club is the most stylish of the beach side contenders, and the ideal destination to sample the Valencian imagining of Spanish staple – paella.
