Description

Valencia (population 800,000), Spain's third largest city, is located on the Mediterranean coast approximately 200 miles south of Barcelona. Although Valencia has a rich history, it is often referred to as one of Spain's more modern cities. Students will be captivated by the "City of Arts and Sciences," a masterpiece of modern-day construction featuring attractions such as the Planetarium, the Museum of Science, the Palace of the Arts, and the Oceanographic Park. Celebrations and festivals throughout the year, like the Fallas, provide an excellent opportunity for students to witness Spanish character at its best.
