Mediterranean Blue

The coast of the province of Valencia is practically continuous beach from Sagunto down to Oliva. It is not undeveloped, being popular with Spaniards themselves, but has great beaches, the odd fishing village, some historical attractions and the L'Albufera natural park.

La Albufera
The nature reserve of La Albufera, not to be confused with S'Albufera on Majorca, lies south of the city of Valencia and is the second largest in Spain. It consists of the lake of La Albufera itself, the wetlands around it and the adjacent shoreline. A page of selected, annotated links.

Costa de Valencia - from Turespaña
The Spanish Tourist Board's account of the Costa de Valencia is, as usual, impeccable, if unexciting.

Cullera
Heading south from Valencia, Cullera is the first resort of any size you come to. It is a pleasant, historic place, with a castle, fishing boats and a river in addition to the great beaches nearby. This page is only in Spanish, but clicking on any of the photos brings up a photo gallery.

Gandia
Gandia is a large town, even without its summer visitors, with a magnificent beach and plenty of historical attractions and activities to pursue. This is a breathless description from a holiday rental company.

Gandia
From another holiday-rental company, another, slightly less breathless description of the attractions of the "Ducal City" of Gandia.

Oliva
Oliva, next to Gandia, is an attractive town, smaller and less crowded (though less exciting) than its neighbour, with a great beach.

Sagunto
Sagunto's main attraction (though it has great beaches, as well) is its Roman remains - the town was attacked by Hannibal on his way to Rome. This site, from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, is slightly amateurish and rather old-fashioned, but informative and entertaining.

Valencia - by Brin Tucker
From a young man who understands how to put a web page together, an enticing account of the city of Valencia.

Valencia - from Turisvalencia
An excellent presentation of the city of Valencia, from the "Turismo Valencia Convention Bureau." It has its weak points and is evidently designed for its purpose, but most people should find something of interest.
