Why Valencia?
Valencia is the third largest city in Spain with beautiful weather and plenty to offer. A mix of ancient and modern architecture, beautiful beaches on the Mediterranean, and fun nightlife provide plenty to see, eat, and do.
When to visit
March-May, September-October
In March, the city is alive with the spring equinox festival “Fallas”. This festival mixes fireworks (day and night), flowers, and locally created sculptures to provide a view around every corner. The festival culminates at the end of the week when the artwork is burnt to “start again” fresh.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jonathan Koch
Available for hire
Hello and welcome to my Thatch profile!
I am an Irish and American dual-citizen, currently living in Tampa, Florida. I have visited 3 continents, 20 countries, and 23 US states. I love to travel and share beautiful views from a bird's eye view with my drone. You can get a sense for my travels on my instagram @jonathandrones.
In traveling with friends and family, I've developed a knack for finding the best spots to submerse into the local culture. My type of travel includes both a cultural experience and a relaxed one each day, as well as focusing on quality over quantity (or price!). You can expect a mix of luxury and thrifty lodgings, restaurants, and experiences in each of my travel guides.
I love to plan travel as much as actually doing it. If seeing more of the world is in your future, check out my guides or reach out for a bespoke itinerary!
