Tourist & general information about Valencia on the Costa Azahar, Spain and information on the America's Cup yacht race and its history. Maps, guides, hotels, sport, marinas, yacht clubs, boat shows, Spanish wine & food

A quick insight into what Valencia has to offer its visitors. It is expected that the 2007 Americas Cup being held in Valencia will attract many tourists to the area; perhaps people who have not been to the Valencia region before. As well as useful tourist information, links are included for those who might want to rent holiday accommodation or indeed who may decide to buy property not just in Valencia on the Cost Azahar of Spain but perhaps on one of the other Mediterranean costas:
Costa Brava, Costa Blanca, Costa Dorada, Costa Calida, Costa del Sol or Costa de la Luz.For a glimpse of resorts in the Valencian Community, why not visit the live web-cam pictures available on comunitatvalenciana.com

watch it or play it in or around Valencia. As well

of multi sport facilites.

In 2004 Valencia's highly successful football team
not only won the Spanish league ,but also La Copa
del Rey, the Champions League and the Super Cup.

The Valencia area is a
golfer's paradise, with
excellent facilities, including
the renowned Club de Golf
El Saler on the outskirts of
Valencia, host to many
international championships.

There is a possibility of exciting spectator sports
at the new Valencia race track, offering motor
cycle and motor racing events.
www.circuitvalencia.comThe track occupies
around one and a half million acres in Cheste,
a town to the south west of Valencia. Its
unique layout makes it an extremely
flexible track and that, combined with all year
round favourable weather conditions, have made
it very popular with many race teams who make
use of the excellent facilities throughout the year.
There are a number of major events scheduled
to takeplace throughout the year. In October
2004 an international biathlon athletics
championship was added to the circuit's fast
growing programme of events.

During the winter months,
a short drive inland
towards Teruel will bring
you to two ski resorts,
popular with the people
who live in the nearby
provinces. Saturday and
Sunday throughout the
season sees the slopes
packed throughout the day.
