València is located on Spain’s eastern coast, at the mouth of the Turia River, right in the center of the Gulf of València. It is situated on the shores of the Mediterranean, a stretch of water that has gradually forged the city’s character over the centuries.
València’s geographical location makes it an excellent operational base from which to explore the rest of Spain. At just an hour and a half from Madrid by train, three hours from Barcelona by car, and with daily departures to the Balearic Islands, the capital of the Mediterranean is well worth a visit. Bask in the city’s pleasant climate, stroll along its wide sandy beaches, just fifteen minutes from the center of València, catch a glimpse of its past, sample the local cuisine, and discover the richness of its culture.
