Multiple religious and statehood battles over the city took place after the fall of Empire, with battles involving city-wide exile leading to the Spanish Inquisition, which was eventually followed by the Spanish Civil War. Modern-day Valencia has integrated it's historical culture into a beautiful city with marvelous historical features all around.
The holidays are one of the best times of the calendar year to visit Valencia. Being the third largest city in Spain, Valencia has more to offer for tourists than most other locations. The key development and growth of the city began in the 1990's, which is about the time tourism began to spike. As far as touring the city goes, the peoples of Valencia have made an impressive effort to restore major historical buildings with the results being stunning, feature-rich landmarks such as the San Miguel de los Reyes monastery. When it comes time for the snow and cold temperatures, Valencia makes one beautiful holiday vacation spot.
Here are a few tips for spending the holidays in Valencia:
1. Always be aware that Valencia truly does have a rich and diverse culture. Being diverse, the city does house patrons from nearly every religious and idealistic background. Forgetting this can lead to unintentional negative social impacts.
2. Remember to route destinations between landmarks ahead of time. The city of Valencia is very large in size. With 19 general area districts, it's not not difficult for even them most experienced travelers to find themselves lost within the city.
3. Learn the basics of the Castilian language. Going to a foreign country with no foreknowledge of the native language can prove to be disastrous. Start with "Do you speak English?" and "excuse me, where am I?".
4. Study what's on display at the City of Arts and Sciences museum. Seeing firsthand a look inside a Valencian artist's mind can really draw a new perspective of the city.
