Insider guide
Valencia
Set sail along the banks of the Turia River during a Valencia yacht charter and discover an ancient city bursting with charm. Now a stop for the Volvo Ocean race and host to multiple sailing weeks, yachting enthusiasts flock to this beautiful port, and for good reason.
To get your bearings, stroll the 4 kilometre long Paseo Marítimo, a beautiful palm-tree-lined promenade. The port itself was completely remodelled for the 32nd America's Cup, while the Medieval architecture of the old city is retained in pockets. Highlights include the San Miguel de Los Reyes Monastery and the ancient Towers of the Medieval city, which afford stunning views across the city to the Mediterranean Sea.
Don’t miss the Las Fallas festival in March during your Valencia luxury yacht charter, which begins with spectacular fireworks. The Holy Week celebrations held in Valencia are also considered among the most intensely colourful in Spain. During August, crowds are drawn to the nearby town of Buñol by “La Tomatina” for the annual tomato fight, which makes a fascinating spectacle. Make sure you leave time during a private yacht charter in Valencia to visit Albufera, a beautiful freshwater lagoon and estuary that is a natural park perfect for bird watching and hiking. Golfers should hit the greens at El Saler, El Bosque, Manises, and the Club Escorpión.
