Valencia
The province of Valencia is the largest of the Valencian community. It is situated in the centre of the spanish Mediterranean coastline. It overlooks the spacious Gulf of Valencia and is skirted at the back by a group of medium-high mountains and rolling plains leading to the lands of Aragon and Castile-La Mancha. It is equidistant from the country's two major decision-taking centres: Madrid and Barcelona. It is the administrative capital of the Valencian community and the centre of the region of L'Horta. Sightseeing around the city begins in the old quarter. The most outstanding artistic heritage is to be found in the districts of Seu and Xerea, where the marks left by the Romans lie hidden beneath Arab ruins and modern churches and palaces. Life in the city spreads down to the seafront with the harbour are and the beaches of Las Arenas and La Malvarrosa.
