The Valencia region, or Valencia, is centered on the southeastern coast of Spain. It is full of beautiful nature. Its many beautiful beaches are bordered by the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean Sea, which are warm most of the year and therefore perfectly suited to all types of water sports. It is famous for its picturesque views and the wealth of its coastal cities and resorts. The area also has plenty of historical landmarks and museums for visitors to enjoy, and popular cities in the area to visit - besides Valencia - are Gandia, Benidorm, Alicante and Buñol, which is home to the world-famous La Tomatina festival.
