Valencia Cultural and Leisure Activities

Valencia, Spain's third largest city after Madrid and Barcelona, is a lively and dynamic city on the Mediterranean coast, with something for all tastes and all ages. The opening of the renowned City of the Arts and Sciences complex, a stunning piece of modern architecture that includes science and art museums, an Imax cinema and the biggest aquarium in Europe, has increased Valencia's popularity and recognition.
The region enjoys a privileged climate. The long hours of sunshine and generally agreeable temperatures allow for the practice of a wide range of outdoor activities such as golf, horse riding, tennis, nautical and water sports.
When you come to Valencia you won't feel alone. There are plenty of fiestas in nearby villages during the months of July, August or September. These usually commemorate local patron saints or re-enact the defeat of the Moors with parades, fireworks and, often, bull running. They are within easy reach and you would be unlucky not to find one.
Valencia's local festival called "FALLAS" is the most important and popular of the region. Over four days, huge papier-mâché statues depicting popular and ironic themes stand erected at just about every street corner, only to be burnt after midnight on 19th of March. At many times during the year, whatever the occasion, you will be able to see one of Valencia's renowned "castillos", a display of aerial pyrotechnics.

Free activities: - Welcome parties. - Spanish films shown at school. - Dancing classes. - Pronunciation classes. - Typical Spanish cuisine demonstrations. - Visit to the city centre.
