Valencia is a city of clichés : the ligh t, the moon, the gun-powder, the paella, the flowers, the Fallas... You have tovisit and get to know Valencia to understand that centenar y traditions can live together with modernity; that
sea and city are compatible ; that the green colour of farms can share space with a modern city...On top of this, Valencia is of course also universally known for its Mediterranian climate and its urban popu-
lar beaches which become the beating hear t of the city 24 hours a day during the summer months.
