Valencia - La ciudad que nunca duerme
Un lugar lleno de contrastes te espera con un encantador casco antiguo junto a edificios futuristas. Así es València, una de las ciudades de España más acogedoras para pasar unos días. Más allá de la efervescencia cultural de la ciudad, siempre es buena idea darse un paseo o un baño en sus playas mediterráneas. Por supuesto, no puedes dejar de probar el plato estrella, la paella (¡autentica!) y otras delicias como las almejas o la Orxata (leche de chufa).
Comienza a planificar tu visita en el sitio oficial de información turística de Valencia o con esta guía de El País.
¿ Ciudad o playa ?
Desde nuestro piso encantador explora la Ciutat Vella (casco antiguo) que data de la época romana. Prueba las tapas en la multitud de pequeños bares y restaurantes. Visita el mercado central y la Lonja. Toma el tranvía hasta la playa de Malvarrosa. Y no olvides que Valencia también puede ser moderna con su Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.
O relájate en nuestra casa frente al mar junto al lago natural de agua dulce de la Albufera, una reserva natural. Alquila bicicletas y explora los campos de arroz. Practica tus habilidades en paddle surf. Explora la costa de arriba abajo, pero no te olvides de visitar las montañas cercanas.

Paella in Valencia
Paella has gained global recognition, even earning its own emoji, yet it remains one of the most frequently misinterpreted dishes around the world. Often people think that the more things you put in it, the more "paella" it is. This is far from correct and you will end up with what Valencians call "arroz con cosas" (rice with things). That is because the true Paella Valenciana consists only of rice, green vegetables, rabbit, chicken, or duck, snails (optional), beans, and seasoning. Even the launch of the paella emoji by Apple in 2016 was not without controversy and was updated shortly after its release.
