Valencia is Spain’s underrated trifecta: history, beaches, and food. Splurge at Hotel Caro, a design marvel built atop Roman ruins, or enjoy a tasting menu at the elegant Ricard Camarena Restaurant. Rent bikes and ride through the Turia Gardens, or catch a flamenco show in the El Carmen district. Saving? No problem. Tour the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences from the outside for free, or grab the city’s best paella in a hole-in-the-wall joint near the port. With sun-soaked charm and local flavor, Valencia lets you mix luxe and low-cost with ease.
