Teen Spanish Summer Camp in Valencia
About Valencia
Valencia is Spain's third largest city and
has experienced a cultural renaissance in recent years. Located
on the Mediterranean coast, it has everything from pristine
beaches to fascinating architecture, a world-class soccer team
and a nightlife that lasts 'til dawn. It's a wonderful place to
learn Spanish because although it's a big city, it still has a
small town feel that makes foreigners feel at home.
Valencia is also the home of paella and boasts a mouth-watering
cuisine of seafood and other delicacies. Even more important is
Las Fallas, the most riotous festival in Spain, and just one of
Valencia's year-round fiestas that travelers the world over come
to experience. During Fallas, every neighborhood ("barri") constructs a satirical papier-maché caricature, each of which is
judged and awarded prizes. The madness culminates in the burning
of all the caricatures, a truly amazing sight.
