Why Valencia Is My Favorite Spanish City for Beaches and Summer Vibes

#mediterraneanvibes When I think of summer in #spain , most people assume I’ll say Ibiza or Marbella. But my heart belongs to Valencia, a city that has everything I love: endless sandy beaches, amazing food, and that laid-back #mediterranean vibe that makes you slow down and enjoy life. #postandearn On my last trip, I booked my flights and beachfront hotel through Trip.com, which made it easy to enjoy Valencia without stress. By the time I left, I was convinced, Valencia is Spain’s most underrated beach destination. 🏖️ Why Valencia’s Beaches Are So Special Unlike the more famous Costa del Sol or Costa Brava, Valencia’s beaches have a local charm. They’re wide, clean, and perfect for long, lazy days under the sun. ✅ Playa de la Malvarrosa: Valencia’s most famous urban beach, just a short tram ride from the city center. Golden sands, calm waters, and plenty of chiringuitos (beach bars) serving ice-cold sangria and tapas. ✅ Playa de la Patacona: A quieter stretch of sand just north of Malvarrosa. Ideal if you want fewer crowds and a more relaxed vibe. ✅ El Saler: Located in Albufera Natural Park, this beach feels wild and untouched. The dunes and pine forests give it a natural beauty that’s hard to beat. 🥘 Food With Mediterranean Soul Valencia isn’t just about the beaches—it’s the birthplace of paella, and nowhere does it better. • Sit at a seaside restaurant and enjoy a steaming plate of paella valenciana, cooked over a wood fire. • Pair it with a crisp glass of Spanish white wine as you listen to the waves. • For dessert, try a traditional horchata with fartons in Alboraya, just outside the city. This culinary experience alone makes #valencia worth the trip.
