Où se baigner à Valence ?
For swimming in Valencia, we recommend La Malva-Rosa beach, one of the closest to the center of the city and, in our opinion, the most beautiful. Don’t miss this great stretch of fine sand and crystal clear waters.
Comme vous pouvez le constater sur la photo ci-dessous de notre arrivée en avion, le centre de Valence est situé à seulement quelques kilomètres d’un incroyable littoral encore un peu préservé par endroit (on vous dit où plus bas dans l’article).
Also note that from June to September the water temperature is always above 20 degrees, we even bathed in mid-October. In short, there is really a little vacation feeling all year round!
