History

The history of the city is both rich and varied, providing a patrimony that has converted it into one of the major cities in Spain on both cultural and economic levels.

Valencia is now the capital of Valencia Region (Comunidad Valenciana), and has 800,000 inhabitants.

Valencia has become a city of contrasts, a city where the visitor can find a combination of fascinating history and the most modern cultural movements. Its fast urban growth is being complemented by an infrastructure that provides ideal locations for cultural and sporting events, trade fairs and business activities. If we add an almost perfect climate, a superb gastronomic tradition and excellent hotel facilities it is easy to see why Valencia is such an inviting destination for those wishing to take a break, those seeking personal enrichment or for enterprising business people.

For all delegates this will be the perfect time to discover and explore the Valencia Region. We invite you to visit the Official tourism site to assist you in planning any activities during your stay. You can also contact our Technical Secretariat for this purpose. There are several sites you just won’t want to miss.
