Valencia, on the Mediterranean coast of central-eastern Spain, is the country's third largest city. It is home to more than 800 thousand people, with almost 1.6 million across the metropolitan area. Its history goes back to 138 BC, when Valentia Edetanorum was founded. The UNESCO listed Silk Exchange is well worth a visit, as is the Fallas festival of fire. The Mediterranean climate guarantees mild winters and hot summers. The city is best visited in spring or autumn, when temperatures are more pleasant.
