Valencia or València is the capital of the autonomous community of Valencia and the third largest city in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona with a population ranging from 1.7 to 2.5 million. The city is situated on the banks of the Turia, on the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula, fronting the Gulf of Valencia on the Mediterranean Sea. Its historic centre is one of the largest in Spain, with approximately 169 acres; heritage of ancient monuments, views and cultural attractions makes Valencia one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.

Starting in the mid-1990s, Valencia, formerly an industrial centre, saw rapid development which expanded its cultural and touristic possibilities, and transformed it into a newly vibrant city. Many local landmarks were restored, including the ancient Towers of the medieval city (Serrano Towers and Quart Towers), and the San Miguel de los Reyes monastery which now holds a conservation library. The two official languages spoken in the city are Valencian and Spanish.

Valencia has a subtropical climate on the borderline of the Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification Csa) and semi-arid climate (BSk), with very mild winters and long warm to hot summers. Its average annual temperature is 22.3 °C (72.1 °F) during the day and 13.4 °C (56.1 °F) at night.
