The capital of the Turia is the third largest city in Spain and arguably has the best of the cosmopolitan and Mediterranean atmosphere of Barcelona and the character and soul of Madrid. Of course, although it has learned the best from its older sisters, Valencia is unique. Discovering its corners from Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Valencia is getting lost in the most traditional essence of the city while rubbing shoulders with the great emblems of innovation such as the City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia smells of the sea on Malvarrosa beach and gunpowder when the Fallas arrive. All washed down with an horchata and a good paella, without a doubt.

The City of Arts and Sciences is the most palpable sample of the most avant-garde Valencia; this cultural and dissemination space has changed the profile of the city. Its 2 km long, designed by Félix Candela and Santiago Calatrava, contains such emblematic buildings as the Oceanográfico, L'Hemisfèric or the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum. Staying at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Valencia allows you not to lose this marvelous view during your entire stay.
