Its coastline on the Balearic Sea extends from the Costa del Azahar to the Costa Blanca, while the Turia and Júcar rivers cross fertile plains inland. Valencia, the regional capital, was the centre of the medieval Kingdom of Valencia, founded in 1238, and preserves the Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rice cultivation around the Albufera lagoon informs local cooking, including paella, while the annual Fallas festivities fill Valencia with sculpture, fire and civic ritual.

Country Spain

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
