Valencia was one of the few airports to be opened up by non-London no frills airlines, with Thomsonfly and Jet2 leading the way, before easyJet and Ryanair followed.Mark Says
Food, conflict, celebration, religion & Valencia has long been one of Spain's major players. After all, this is the place where paella was invented and El Cid crossed swords with the Moors, where the world-famous Fallas festival is held and the Holy Grail guarded. But like its brand new metro, the city is now pushing forward at breakneck speed, with a sense of variety and daring to rival any city in the country.The gleaming new Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias (City of Arts and Sciences) is evidence of that. Filling a geographical void between the city and its wide golden beaches, this ultra-modern Santiago Calatrava-designed cultural and scientific complex has added an exciting architectural dimension to the city. Valencia has also steadily acquired an international presence as a business and trade centre, as well as in the sporting arena: in recent years it has hosted the America's Cup yacht race and Formula 1 grand prix, and the city's football team reached the Champions League final. Don't think for a minute, though, that all this modernization has usurped valenciano tradition. The beautiful cathedral is still one of the city's most symbolic buildings and holds what it claims to be the Holy Grail, the cup used by Christ during the last supper. The region also has one of Spain's most varied and established festival calendars, from mock battles to tomato fights and peaking with the explosive Fallas fiesta in March, where giant, painstakingly-crafted papier mâché statues are literally burned to the ground in a series of giant bonfires. As if that wasn't enough, spectacular firework displays then light up the night sky and revellers party long into the night. Las Fallas is certainly one of Spain's most memorable fiestas, though accommodation should be booked well ahead to avoid disappointment.
The city's frenetic nightlife also has a national reputation even at quiet times of the year, with bars frequently spilling out onto the streets and towards some of the best nightclubs in Spain. Of course, if eating's your thing then look no further than the ubiquitous paella, though the best versions of that are probably to be found beyond the city limits.
