La Seu Cathedral is a blend of Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque architecture. It is home to the Holy Grail, the chalice Jesus is said to have used during the Last Supper.

4. Paella, tapas and oranges

Paella por favor! This rice dice originated in Valencia and each paella restaurant claims to serve the best in town. Or have tapas at one of the many tapas bars where you can enjoy the outdoor terrace until late at night. Fancy some vitamin C? The orchards surrounding Valencia overflow with delicious oranges.
