Valencia faces the Mediterranian Sea and has several beaches with wide and beautiful golden sand beaches.
Kristin and I visited three of the most famous ones.
Malvarosa Beach
The most popular one is Malvarosa Beach. It has the best developed boardwalks and apparently many tourists visit this beach. We had a dinner at Restaurante Luz de Luna or Moon Light Restaurant. Our dinner was their Menu del Dia or Daily Menu available for lunch. The Menu del Dia included the first and second dishes, plus bread, a drink, including wine, a dessert. The total cost was 11.50 Euro. What a deal!
Las Arenas Beach
The most prestigious beach seems to be Las Arenas Beach. It was closest to the Marina and naturally, it attracts many people. Also, the restaurants were pretty closely located to the beach boardwalk, thus making it easy for people to pop in. We had ice cream and churros with hot chocolate.
By the beach was a hotel, named after the beach called Las Arenas Hotel, which is known to be quite expensive. It looked pretty exclusive just from the outer appearance.
I saw a sand artist who was building a sandcastle.
Patacona Beach
If the two beaches above are for tourists, Patacona Beach is for the locals. As we entered into the Patacona Beach, we could tell that the quality of the beach was not as good as the other two. But, many Valencians visit this beach, particularly for Paellas.
It was tranquil and relaxing to walk on the boardwalks of the beach. A big plus for Valencia.
Marina
Valencia hosted Port America's Cup twice in 2007 and again in 2009. America's Cup is a global yacht competition of which the origin dates back to 1851. The stable breeze in the sea is an ideal condition for the yacht competition.
Now the facilities built for the events have been sold to private companies for their own uses as warehouses or so.
The pier stretched into the sea gave us a panoramic view of the beaches.
Port
Behind the Marina was the Port facilities. It accommodates the movement of a lot of cargos in and out of Spain. Its volume is the second in Spain and the fifth in Europe. - Jeffrey
