Valencia is the third-largest city in Spain, and it has an almost perfect climate, with over 300 days of sunshine every year. With superb gastronomic tradition and excellent accommodation facilities, Valencia is a perfect city to visit and to live in. It is among the more affordable Spanish cities, as the price of housing and food, for example, is overall lower than in many other cities.

It has become a city of contrasts, with a combination of fascinating history and the most modern cultural movements, together with numerous museums, galleries, and festivals during the whole year. It is well communicated with airport, harbor, and a wide variety of public transport network. Valencia is overall a very safe city for its size; even the petty crime is low”.
