Encompassing the Valencia, Alicante and Castellón provinces, the Valencia region is a land bordered by rugged hills to one side, and the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea on the other. Whether you’re planning a city break in Valencia, or a memorable road trip along the towns and villages of the picturesque Costa Blanca, this is a fascinating part of Spain to discover. The region’s multi-layered history and rich culinary traditions are reflected in its characterful accommodation options, which range from intimate B&Bs to striking food-focused hotels. Whether you’re travelling as a couple or with family and friends, the best places to stay in Valencia await.
The city of Valencia is the third-largest in Spain, famed for its vibrant arts scene and marvellous array of galleries and museums. The Museum of Fine Arts, Valencia History Museum and innovative City of the Arts and Sciences are particular standouts. Guided city tours come highly recommended, as do visits to the covered Central Market, where you can fill your bags with top produce from across the region. Valencia has a brilliant buzz in the evenings, and you’ll find trendy bars and gourmet eateries aplenty.
Venture into the hills on hiking, cycling and horse riding excursions, or head south to discover a Mediterranean coastline studded with fishing villages and ancient towns, such as lovely Altea. The Costa Blanca’s whitewashed houses are very charming, though perhaps best explored in spring or autumn, when you can expect fewer crowds. Alicante itself, often stereotyped as a party hotspot, has a great foodie scene and a number of impressive heritage landmarks, too. Some of the best places to stay in the Valencia region are within the city itself.
