When Ryanair introduced Valencia as a new destination,
of course, we were among the first ones to book!

Little did we know about this Spanish city, but what we saw and experienced was wonderful!!!


.

Valencia is not all about Oranges - although you will find them EVERYWHERE...... When we went to Valencia in March, there were ripe oranges everywhere and with the strong winds, they were also on the ground, but we did not pick them up!

Being there in March, we were lucky to experience the beginning of the Fallas, a typical festival (typical for Valencia) to celebrate the beginning of spring! It is celebrated from March 1 - 19, and although we were there only at the very beginning, we did experience quite a bit of this fabulous fiesta! Check out my local customs tips!

    Hi Christine, Cindy and I had a wonderful time. It was a great group. It was hard leaving knowing we would not see everyone again for some time. Warmest regards, Karl

    Excellent start! I was once at a big VT meeting in Valencia and we also heard part of the Las Fallas as it was in March too :)

    You're so lucky living close to Baden Airport. The aquarium is a place I would love to visit.
