But there are many reasons for Valencia that can be found in the relevant travel guides: beautiful buildings and squares, historical monuments, the sea and the sun. But these are not Valencia's secrets.
Valencia has grown. From antiquity to Moorish influences, from the youthful style of the 20th century to the modern, new era. All these times are still so present today because the city and its people preserve the beauty and bring the spirit to life.
800,000 people in Valencia, in so many different neighbourhoods, but also in the old town or the Art Nouveau district. Neighbourhoods that have not been handed over to visitors and tourists, but are still filled with the Spanish way of life and joy. Just like Turia Park, the 9-kilometre-long lifeline, the former riverbed through the city. This is where people gather to do sport, run, walk and relax. The energy of the city is magical.
And because Spain is probably full of historic old towns and buildings, the architect Santiago Calatrava created monumental buildings in the City of Arts and Sciences in the early 2000s, which are now the city's landmarks. It is impossible not to be amazed. Hundreds of thousands of mosaic tiles reflect the sun as the buildings, surrounded by shimmering blue pools and fountains, rise up in front of the tourists. The contrast to the old town could not be greater!
The secret of the love for Valencia lies in this fascination and in the people who radiate this feeling. People who are making it possible for their city to hold the title of "European Green Capital 2024" this year. People who are preparing their Valencia for a long future. People who welcome all visitors to share in their everyday life and traditions.
