Valencia, capital of the homonym autonomous region, is Spain's third largest city. Its geographical position is one of its main strengths: it overlooks the wide Gulf of Valencia and is skirted at the back by a group of medium-high mountains and plains leading to the lands of Aragon and Castile-La Mancha.

Moreover, it is just in front of the Balearic Islands and more or less equidistant from the two major country's poles of attraction: Madrid and Barcelona.

Being so close to the Mediterranean Sea has heavily affected the local people’s behavior. Hosting a visitor is sort of moral duty, it’s a rite. Everyone is very extroverted, easy-going and in case of need, he or she will give you a hand. The culture of the tourist is one of the fondant values joined with the open-mindedness. They derive directly from the old Mare Nostrum established social pattern.

Valencia is the administrative capital of the province. It is the most densely populated town in the Valencian community and is encircled by a wide belt of medium-sized municipal districts which form an unbroken built-up area with an average density of 1,600 inhabitants per square kilometer. The sightseeing tour around the city begins in the old neighborhood. Until the mid-nineteenth century, it was defended by a wall, which can be toured just catching an urban bus. The most outstanding artistic heritage can be found in the districts of Seu and Xerea, where the marks left by the Romans lie hidden beneath Arab ruins and modern churches and palaces. Join one of our schools in Valencia and discover one of the most vibrant cities in Spain.
The Mercat district took shape due to the ancient business behavior of the city's inhabitants. Accordingly, its two most emblematic buildings are used for trading purposes. Outside the destroyed wall grew the Valencia of the bourgeoisie, with its wide pavements, broad landscaped thoroughfares and countless examples of modernist architecture. On the other side of the Turia's old riverbed lie the nursery gardens, along with the Fine Arts Museum and the ultramodern part of the city which, on account of its size, serves as a nexus between the coastal townships and the old quarter. The futuristic face of the city is mirrored on the old riverbed through the Gulliver Children's park and the leisure and culture complex, Ciutat de les Arts i de les Ciencies. Life in the city spreads down to the seafront with the harbour and the beaches of Las Arenas and La Malvarrosa.
