Valencia is a city full of history, having first been founded by the Romans in the second century. There is no shortage of stunning cathedrals and other heritage sites to explore. Those with a keen interest in biblical history may be interested to know that the Holy Grail — the cup which Jesus drank from at the Last Supper — is believed to be kept in a chapel inside Valencia’s cathedral.

For more contemporary sites, there are a number of monuments around the City of Arts and Sciences complex, including an opera house, a 3D IMAX cinema, an interactive museum, and the largest aquarium in Europe.

Mercado Central — the Central Market in English — is one of the largest and oldest markets on the continent. It deals primarily in fresh produce and is a great place to find authentic Mediterranean ingredients to get the full experience while travelling around the coast.

Speaking of the coast, Valencia’s beaches are a particular highlight. Set against the Mediterranean Ocean and situated towards the southern end of Spain, these beaches are beautiful and benefit from enviable weather. It is well worth parking your rental campervan up for some beach time.

This makes Valencia particularly suitable as a starting point for your road trip
