The best time to visit Valencia
Valencia is one of Spain’s sunniest cities and is lovely much of the year. The best times are spring (April–June) and early autumn (September–October) — warm, sunny and great for the beach without the high-summer heat. Summer is hot but beach-friendly; winter is mild and quiet. March means Las Fallas.
