One of the great things about Valencia is that the weather is pretty stunning all year. Of course, winter tends to be a little cooler and the summer heat can often become slightly overwhelming.

Visiting in April, May, September and October is probably the ideal, when you get cool sea breezes and clear blue skies.

And if you want to see Valencia in true party mood, plan your trip around Las Fallas in mid-March. All-night fiestas, fireworks and music is guaranteed.
