Valencia
Valencia is a bright, football-mad Mediterranean city with a special bond with its teams and one of the most recognisable stadiums in Spanish football. Mestalla has been at the heart of the city for over a century, and Valencia CF is an inseparable part of Valencian identity. UD Levante is another historic football club. But Valencia is much more than just football: its history, beaches, cuisine, architecture and vibrant street life mean that a football trip can easily turn into a full weekend away.
