Where to stay in Valencia Spain ?
by Marie Sonzini
Valencia is a city naturally dedicated to tourism. Proof of this is seen in the high number of hotels of all categories. Since the recent publicity made around the "Fallas of Valencia", the spectacular City of Arts and Sciences (CAC), the America's Cup and others prestigious events, the list of hotels and other housing keeps growing.

Numerous travel agencies offer vacation packages including airline ticket, hotel and rental
