2026 Valenca Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in March)

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent Valença, a small Portuguese fortress town on the Spanish border🇵🇹 My favorite place while living in Porto for a month and traveling to various cities in Portugal is ‘Valença’. It’s a really unfamiliar place, but it’s on the border between Portugal and Spain, and it was amazing that you can cross over to Spain in about 30 minutes from Valença. If you cross the Ponte Rodo-Ferroviária de Valença bridge between the Minho River, you can go to the town of Tui, Spain, but the time difference changed by 1 hour while crossing:) Valença, which can be said to be the end or beginning point of the Santiago pilgrimage, is a place I recommend for a day trip if you have a long-term plan to travel to Portugal. 📌You can take the CP train from Porto São Bento Station and get there in about 2 hours. 📌You can cross the Spanish border on foot 📌The end or start of the Santiago pilgrimage. 📍Valença, Portugal🇵🇹 #Portugal #PortugalTravel #Valença #PortugalBorder #Europe #EuropeTravel #CaminoDeSantiago #SpainBorder

🇪🇸 The second largest seaport and the birthplace of paella: Valencia This pearl of the Mediterranean has a history of over two thousand years. The old town features a mix of architectural styles. What caught my eye immediately was the Valencia Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady (photos two, three, and four). It is the main cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Valencia, blending Gothic, Catalan, Romanesque, Baroque, Renaissance, and Neoclassical styles... The Holy Grail used by Jesus at the Last Supper is preserved here. The Valencia Holy Grail dates back to the 1st century AD, traveling from Jerusalem to Rome and passing through many hands. It was brought into the royal treasury by the King of Aragon and eventually given to the cathedral. It has circulated for a thousand years, enduring wars, migrations, and wanderings. The faithful who guard it have changed generation after generation, yet the relic remains intact. Life is finite, but faith is eternal.

If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of big cities and want to see the joy and happiness brought by the beauty of nature, then the small city of Tui in northern Spain will be a good choice. There is the beautiful Aloia National Park🏞️, which is not a very high mountain. You can drive to the top in more than ten minutes, then hike there and visit several different viewing platforms. In addition to its beautiful natural scenery, it is also connected to the ancient Portuguese town of Valença, where many people go to buy Portuguese cotton products. There are also hot springs around it♨️, but we went to Tui at the end of December, and it was closed at that time, so we finally went to the Ourense hot spring area, which is an hour's drive away from it. All the places we saw were very beautiful and clean, and they were all free.

Correus is their Central Post Office, the construction began in 1915 and was finished seven years later. It is located at Placa de l'Ajuntament, 24, 46002 Valencia is around 6 minutes 350 meters walk from Xativa Metro station. The most noteworthy feature of the building is the main entrance. It set out from the rest of the structure and flanked by double ionic columns and semi-circular arches. To crown the building there is a metal tower; there is a spiral staircase to acess the viewpoint. It's well-worth stopping in just to buy stamps and mail off your postcards to friends and relatives.
