My wife surprised me today by saying she fancied a trip to Valencia. I'm aware of the museum/event hall with the fancy buildings, the Mestella stadium, and apparently the holy grail is in the cathedral. Any other must-sees? dreampolice I'm hoping you have some intel to share. |

You know something, despite my having a place in the Region of Valencia , and having driven by it countless times on the motorway, I have never been. We have been saying we should go since 2005!!
It is only 2 hours or so away and we could even get a train. One day..

I think it's only Ryanair that flies from here to there, wondering whether it's worth flying to one of the resorty places further south and getting a train. Just for variety. |

As most places I think about going to involve taking lots of photographs, I tend to look at Flickr to see what other people have found interesting and worth recording. |

Next airport down is Alicante. That airport is quite a way from the city of Alicante itself. the airport does not have a direct train connection, only buses and taxis. Alicante is a nice city too. It is the airport for folk travelling on to Benidorm, so some of the flights into Alicante can be fairly fecking horrible TBH! |

Ryanair and EasyJet are favorites for Valencia, the airport is probably 4 miles out of town. If you went Ryanair make sure its not to Castellon which is about 60 miles plus.
Valencia is a great place, Museums, galleries, cathedrals, parks, science centres and beaches, great food, allegedly the home of the Paella although I prefer Catalan versions. Haven't flown there myself as we went by ferry to Santander and drove down.
