The autonomous Valencian Community is a prototypical example of 'Mediterranean Spain'. It has a superb climate and offers more than 500 kilometers of coast. It is decidedly one of the Spain's most touristy regions. If you want to discover more than just sun and sand, the Comunidad Valenciana boasts remains of most ancient civilizations, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, Iberians and Romans. The Moorish legacy is still present in traditional artisany and agriculture with its praised oranges as well as rice. The conquests of Jaime de Aragón led to the foundation of the kingdom of Valencia, which more or less covered the territory of today's Community.

Some of the most interesting places in the Comunidad Valenciana are: Alicante, Altea, Benidorm, Callosa, Calpe, Castellón de la Plana, Costa Azahar, Costa Blanca, Denia, Guadelest, Isla de Tabarka, Torrevieja, Valencia and Villajoyosa.
