Things to do in Valencia Airport
Valencia is the birthplace of paella, a city of modernist Calatrava architecture, and one of Spain's most livable and laid-back destinations. The City of Arts and Sciences — a futuristic complex of opera house, science museum, and aquarium — is 15 minutes from the airport by metro. Valencia's old town, the Central Market, and the beachfront La Malvarrosa are all worth visiting. Local horchata (tiger nut drink) and fartons pastries are iconic.
