There is a wealth of cultural tourism on offer in the Region of Valencia, in part because we have been the home of great artists who have left behind enduring literary, architectural, sculptural and artistic legacies.
Our land has been inhabited by ancient civilisations that built countless towers, walls and castles. We’ve kept alive oral traditions that are part of our DNA and every week a session of the Water Tribunal is still held in València.
The footprints of dinosaurs, dry stone constructions protected by UNESCO as well as Immaterial Heritage like Las Fallas, La Mare de Déu de la Salut Festival in Algemesí and Misteri d’Elx: we are a destination that breathes culture.
