Valencia is the third-largest city in Spain, the "Sunshine City" of the Mediterranean, and the birthplace of paella, blending historical heritage with futuristic architecture. The old town features the Valencia Cathedral (housing the Holy Grail), the Central Market (the largest fresh market in Europe), and the Turia Gardens; the modern landmark City of Arts and Sciences has become an Instagram-famous spot with its fantastical designs. Every March, the Fallas festival is held, with giant papier-mâché sculptures displayed across the city. The cuisine is centred on authentic Paella Valenciana, complemented by Valencia orange wine, grilled squid, and almond desserts, fresh and rich in flavour.
