About Valencia and Murcia
The regions of Valencia and Murcia offer the chance to explore the long stretch of Spain’s eastern coast and the contrasting landscapes found inland. Picturesque villages lie scattered along the shore between larger towns, many of which have been overlooked by mass market tourism and are still beautifully authentic. The inland reaches of these regions vary drastically from fertile groves of oranges, dates and even rice to arid deserts spotted with isolated white buildings and hilltop towns. Valencia is another semi-independent region with its own language, valenciano. The language is derived from Catalan and has many similarities but it’s unwise to comment on this to a local as they are fiercely proud of their unique identity. Alongside valenciano and Castilian Spanish there is also the legacy of the long Arab occupation. On a stunning beach of golden sand is the regional capital of Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city. Visitors to this region must be sure to try a real paella as the famous dish originated here. There are countless combinations of flavours and ingredients to be tried in the restaurants, but the most traditional option is rabbit and chicken in a vibrant saffron rice. Valencia has reinvented itself in recent years with futuristic architecture and a sophisticated port area which contrast with the historic buildings of the atmospheric old town. On the other hand, Murcia is a historic city which is particularly noted for its Baroque cathedral and tapas scene. Between these two locations you will find the bustling town of Denia, launching point for ferries to the Balearic Islands. A historic port founded by the Romans, Denia has a hilltop castle, ancient fishing neighbourhood and beautiful beaches. The regions of Valencia and Murcia are particularly known for their festivals and two of Spain’s most iconic fiestas are held here. The crazy tomato fight of La Tomatina is Bunol is probably not to everyone’s taste, however the spring celebration of Las Fallas is highly recommended – a month filled with fireworks, huge bonfires and giant puppets that are set on fire at the end of the festivities. Booking in advance for this unique festival is essential.
Highlights of Valencia and Murcia
The City of Arts and Sciences and the Fine Arts Museum in Valencia.

The Castell de la Santa Bárbara and Museo Arqueológico Pronvicial, giving the best views over the city of Alicante. The historic port town of Denia with its beautiful beaches, hilltop castle, former fishing neighbourhood or Baix la mar and Moorish influenced distrcit of Les Roques. Walking in Montgó Natural Park. Swimming at the secluded Les Rotes beach and nearby Cova Tallada (reached by boat or on foot). The town of Morella is the northern reaches of Valencia with its medieval fortified town and 13th century aqueduct. The iconic Penon de Ifach rock in the heart of Calpe. The colourful port city of Cartagena with its Roman Theatre, Castillo de la Concepcion and beautiful seafront promenade.

Gastronomy in Valencia and Murcia
Cuisine in eastern Spain takes inspiration from both central Spain and the Arab influences of its past whilst making use of local ingredients available including seafood, fresh vegetables and game. Valencia and Murcia host many restaurants specialising in shellfish and fish, with fish often cooked in a salt crust or ‘a la espalda’ (lightly fried and baked). Paella, the vibrant rice dish which is known the world over originated in Valencia. Typical dishes include unusual ‘sea and mountain' combinations which use both meat and seafood, ‘Pa amb tomàquet' (bread with tomato, oil and garlic), ‘Fideuá' (a variant of Paella with pasta), ‘Zarzuela' (a seafood stew), ‘Escudella’ (a stew containing vegetables, meat, rice and pasta) and ‘Crema Catalana' (a Catalan version of a Crème Brûlée).
Climate in Valencia and Murcia
Valencia and Murcia enjoy a typical Mediterranean climate, although higher areas are somewhat cooler. Late spring and early autumn are great times to visit coastal areas as the weather is warm with temperatures of around 20 degrees centigrade, although some rainfall can be expected. Mid-summer in the cities can be unbearably hot, but the coastline is cooled by sea breezes. Winter is generally mild with occasional rain and average temperatures of 10-15 degrees, making this a favoured destination for cultural exploration year-round.
