August in Valencia Spain…
Valencia is a city by the sea with a coastline which includes the Costa Azahar and the Costa Blanca where there are many popular resorts such as Alicante and Benidorm.
The Old Quarter of Valencia and Barrio del Carmen are a joy to visit with their souk-like streets overflowing with a variety of restaurants, tapas bars, cafes and nightlife.
The lunch time menu’s are always full of rice dishes such as paella which is typical of Valencian cuisine and the tapas bars offer a wide choice of tapas.
Top festivals at this time of year include La Tomatina held on the last Wednesday in August in the town of Bunyol.
