Explore the Autonomous Community of Valencia
Sun, Sea, and Paella
The Valencian Community is a vibrant and diverse region in eastern Spain, known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant cities, rich cultural heritage, and delicious cuisine. The region is divided into three provinces – Alicante, Castellón, and Valencia – each with its own unique attractions and highlights.
The 3 Valencian Provinces
The Valencian Community is divided into three provinces mainly for administrative and political reasons. Historically, the area that makes up the modern-day Valencian Community was part of the larger region of Valencia, which also included the Balearic Islands and parts of Catalonia. However, over time, the region was reorganized and divided into smaller administrative units for more efficient governance and better representation of local interests.
