Destination guide

The Valencian Community: a fiercely independent country

The autonomous Valencian Community has always had a strong sense of independence, a characteristic developed from being separated from the rest of Spain by mountain ranges to the west. It's a trait gained from centuries of autonomy that ended with the War of the Spanish Succession and regained with the 1982 Statute of Autonomy. Valencian vacation rentals are a great base for experiencing this country's unique offerings, from its grand Moorish architecture and colorful festivals to its fabulous beaches and fertile countryside. Let's not forget the glorious cuisine—wash down hefty servings of paella with some horchata or the region's signature cocktail, Agua de Valencia.
