Why Learn Spanish in Valencia?
Festivals
Valencia has a well-known affinity for pretty much anything with the capacity to blaze, bang, or explode- especially when there's something to celebrate! Get ready for glass-rattling pyrotechnics in Valencia, whose cultural calendar includes the blazing towers of Las Fallas, the wild marigold-pelting Battle of the Flowers, and even a festival dedicated solely to the art of launching fireworks!
City of Arts & Sciences
The sleek, ultra-futuristic structures rising dramatically out of a crystalline blue pool compose Valencia's newest and most popular attraction: the City of Arts and Sciences. Enjoy Europe's biggest aquarium, an interactive science museum, a planetarium, colossal gardens, top-of-the-line music venues and much more!
Food
Paella, the delicious regional-turned-national-turned international dish is but one highlight of Valencia's simple and refreshing cuisine. Also playing major roles in the local gastronomy are the locally-grown fruits and vegetables, as well as and abundant seafood fresh in from the daily catch.
Location
Just steps away from the lapping waves of the Mediterranean, surrounded by the fertile farmlands of La Huerta and in the midst of sprawling natural parks and mountainous inlands, Valencia's prime location is easily one of its top advantages. Sun-soaked beaches, fresh produce and seafood, and countless day-trip possibilities are just a few of the benefits!
Architecture
As a major player in Spain's colorful history, Valencia's diverse architecture reads like a Spanish history book. Grab your camera and take in the sights of castle-like Gothic silk exchanges, brilliant Modernista marketplaces, sumptuous Barqoue palaces and much, much more.
Nightlife
Valencia's nightly marcha - action - kicks into high gear as soon as the sun goes down and doesn't slow down until it comes up again. This late-night playground has something for everyone- sophisticated cocktail lounges, swanky beach-side clubs, grunge bars, laid-back Bohemian locales and more!
