Valencia lies about 120 kilometres north of Moraira. By the AP-7, toll-free since January 2020, the drive takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes; on busy Sundays it can be an hour and a half. That makes a day trip to Valencia perfectly feasible, especially if you set off early. Below is what you can see in one day and how best to get there.<\/p>\n

The old city: market, Lonja and cathedral<\/h2>\n

Begin the day in the old city, because the market closes in the middle of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Mercado Central<\/h3>\n

Opening hours:<\/strong> Mon\u2013Sat 07:30\u201315:00; closed on Sundays and public holidays
\nWhat:<\/strong> more than 250 stalls of fresh produce in a modernist market hall of iron, tiles and stained glass
\nGoogle Maps<\/a><\/p>\n

Just by the market stands the Lonja de la Seda, the fifteenth-century silk exchange added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1996.<\/p>\n

Lonja de la Seda<\/h3>\n

Opening hours:<\/strong> Mon\u2013Sat 10:00\u201319:00, Sundays and public holidays 10:00\u201314:00
\nAdmission:<\/strong> \u20ac 2 in 2026, concessions \u20ac 1; free on Sundays and public holidays
\nGoogle Maps<\/a><\/p>\n

A few minutes’ walk further is the cathedral, with the El Miguelete bell tower and the chapel of the Santo C\u00e1liz, the chalice venerated in Valencia as the Holy Grail.<\/p>\n

Jard\u00edn del Turia en de Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias<\/h2>\n

After the great flood of 1957 the river Turia was diverted around the city. The old river bed is now a park almost 8.5 kilometres long, with cycle and walking paths, sports grounds and gardens. At the seaward end the park finishes at the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the complex of white, futuristic buildings that has come to define the image of Valencia. The park is flat and good for cycling too.<\/p>\n

By car, or by train and bus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Note: low-emission zone<\/p>\n

Valencia has a low-emission zone (Zona de Bajas Emisiones). Check before you leave whether your own car or hire car is allowed into the city, or park on the edge and continue by public transport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You can also drive to Gandia and take the train from there, which lets you combine the day with a visit to Gandia<\/a>. For more on buses and trains from Moraira see public transport around Moraira<\/a>, and for car hire see car hire in Moraira<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note<\/span> paella here is a midday dish, not an evening meal; booking is wise in season<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Avoid the week of Las Fallas<\/p>\n

During Las Fallas in March the centre of Valencia is largely closed to traffic, the car parks are full and it is extremely busy everywhere. In 2027 the official festival days are 15 to 19 March, with the cremà on Friday 19 March; in the weeks before there are already daily mascletàs. If you would rather experience it, come by public transport or park at a metro station on the edge of the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Planning the day<\/h2>\n

Set off early and start with the market, the Lonja and the cathedral. Eat around midday in the old city, a paella for instance: Valencia is regarded as the birthplace of this rice dish. In the afternoon walk or cycle through the Turia park to the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, then drive back. Anyone who also wants to see the beach at Valencia really needs a second day.<\/p>\n

Valencia: the big city beyond<\/h2>\n

Valencia lies a little over an hour’s drive from Calamora — worth a day of architecture, paella and the Ciudad de las Artes.<\/p>\n
