Valencia is famous for food and revelry -- it's the home of paella and Las Fallas, a weeklong fiesta in March that climaxes with the burning of hundreds of enormous papier-mache figures.
This city is located in the fairly dry, rugged and hilly terrain that's perfect for growing Valencia oranges -- in fact, citrus and other crops grown in the region make it the agricultural center of Spain.

Visit Valencia's historical museum and cathedral, its beautifully preserved Gothic area and Spain's largest indoor food market, which is filled with fresh produce, meats and fish. In summer, try paella in one of the restaurants along the beach.
