Valencia is Spain’s third city, home of paella, the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences and a long city beach, with the green Turia riverbed park running through its heart. It is usually cheaper than Barcelona or Madrid, and there are good hotel deals in the old town and around the beach outside the big festivals.
