🏖️ The best towns in Valencia

Hi viatgers,

I’m always telling people that Valencia is a place you can explore endlessly.

I’ve been here for 7 years — and I still find new places to visit constantly.

And since there is a little bit of paradise for everyone, I thought I’d give you some suggestions based on preferences. So whether you’re still planning your trip (or you’re just looking for inspiration), you’ll be able to add these hidden gems to your list.

If you love medieval towns:

Then you should go to Bocairent.

If you love the beach

Then you should go to Peníscola

• Small town with a huge beach

• Great seafood

• Can visit a castle while you’re here

I think this is one of the best day trips from Valencia. You can enjoy the beach, explore a castle that inspired Game of Thrones, and get some high-quality seafood.

⭐ This is a unique tour you can check out

Although to be fair — if all you want is clear water, then just head out to Devesa. It’s only 15 minutes from Valencia (you can get there by bus). Endless sand and not as many tourists.

If you love hiking

Then you should go to Chulilla.

• Famous for their “hanging bridges”

• Has a small river you can splash in

• Relatively easy trails

Chulilla is a top spot for people who love hiking. I’ve gone here a few times on different routes since it’s quite close and the views are fantastic!

Although in the summer, I recommend going as early as possible!

If you can rent a car, then that’s preferable.

But if not, you can always book a tour & private transport here.

If you love luxury vacations

Then you should go to Dénia.

• Lots of houses to rent

• Great beaches

• A bit more isolated

Basically, almost any town on the southern coast of Alacant will do well. But Dénia tends to have lots of options for a “casa rural”.

Many will come with a pool in a remote area. This way you can fully relax and get away from everything.

⭐ Use VRBO to find an accommodation

This is the most popular tool in Spain to find houses for rent.
