Located on Spain's southeast coast, Valencia is a Mediterranean city in all aspects. Locals embrace outdoor living and recreation by taking advantage of the area's temperate climate (average temperatures range between 48°F and 77°F). Popular activities include strolling on one of the city's seaside promenades (the longest of which stretches seven kilometers, or over four miles), swimming at beaches that have received the highest environmental awards, or using "pedal-power" to visit key cultural and historic sites. Valencia has been recognized as a bike-friendly city by the Cities by Bike Network, with over 120 km (75 miles) of bike lanes and garden causeways that allow you to explore the city at your leisure. Valencia is home to a multitude of museums and cultural centers, but it's perhaps best known for its innovative City of Arts and Sciences, a unique complex dedicated to scientific and cultural dissemination.
