Valencia

Beach, paella's birthplace, and far cheaper than Barcelona.

Travellers come here for food, beaches, nightlife and meeting people.

When to go

Aim for May, June and July. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.

Getting there

The airport is VLC. Valencia is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
