Valencian Community: travel guides

Sea and nature in the Valencian Community

The Valencian Community is in the east of Spain bordering the Mediterranean Sea. With cities such as Valencia and Alicante, as well as over 630 kilometres of coastline and pleasant temperatures, the Valencian Community is among the top tourist destinations in the Iberian Peninsula, especially for beach holidays. Those who love nature and contrasting landscapes, will also appreciate the presence of the mountains inland, just a few kilometres from the sea.

Campsites in the Valencian Community

The Valencian Community offers a considerable number of campsites and holiday resorts, most of which are located near the coast, making them ideal for beach holidays and short tours to discover Valencia and other cities of history and art. Those who love the beach and getting a tan are spoilt for choice in this region when it comes to beach resorts. The Costa de Valencia, the Costa Blanca, to the south, and the Costa de Azahar, as well as Benidorm with its grand skyscrapers, all offer a dazzling array of beaches and services, including those dedicated especially to camping and holiday resorts. From these destinations, you can also easily reach inland villages and hiking trails. Not to forget is the fact that from the port of Valencia run ferries to the Balearic Islands, including Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera.

Nature and historic cities

Beyond days at the beach and the entertainment put on by each campsite, the territory of the Valencian Community offers the opportunity to discover a rich heritage of nature, arts and culture, not to mention entertainment for the whole family. Just as Valencia, Alicante and Castelló de la Plana are worth a thorough visit, and the views from the mountains behind the coastal plain are to be admired, the Valencian Community offers a whole host of attractions for families, such as the Bioparc, one of the largest zoos of the latest generation, the water park Aqualandia and Terra Mitica, a renowned amusement park inspired by the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean.
