Valencia, situated on the Mediterranean coastline south of Barcelona, is one of the few cities that is able to harmoniously combine its ancient heritage with new millennium architecture. Valencia in Spain means commerce, culture, cinema, theatre, museums, music, and business. Thanks to its location as the Spanish gateway to the Mediterranean, it is one of the most attractive cities in Europe when it comes to fairs and conventions. The fine sand and crystal waters, the vastness of the open sea, and the proximity of the coastal mountain range, lend the Valencian coast a unique appeal.
