Comunitat Valenciana's Absolute Essentials

Comunitat Valenciana features a diverse architectural landscape, from the modernist Colon Market and North Railway Station to the 14th-century Templar fortress of Peniscola Castle. The region’s geography is highlighted by the limestone cliffs of Penyal d'Ifac and the white sands of Playa Mil Palmeras. In Valencia city, historical squares and 19th-century gardens like El Parterre sit alongside Santiago Calatrava’s flower-lined bridge and Art Deco monuments.
