LEARNING TO SPEAK SPANISH IN VALENCIA - SPAIN
"Valencia is a modern, open city, full of light and colour because of its privileged location beside the Mediterranean sea, but also within easy reach of the mountains (just 20 km away). Valencia attracts visitors eager to experience its many cultural sites, its leisure and sports facilities, its beaches, its food and, of course, its warm climate and friendly people. No wonder 19 million tourists visit our region every year, making it one of the major tourist destinations in Europe. These days the two most popular attractions are “The City of Arts and Science”, one of the largest leisure and cultural centres in Europe, and the lively “Fallas”. But Valencia is not just about “Fallas”: it has not stayed rooted in the past, or even the present. The city is getting ready to welcome the 32nd “America’s Cup” yacht race, an event that will bring worldwide recognition, not just for the event itself, but also for a future of continuous renewal and expansion. So may I welcome you to Valencia, and invite you to discover and share not only the language, but also everything the city and we, its people, can offer you."
