Valencia Spain Weather – When to Visit
The best time Valencia is in April and May, the best time with warm weather and void of the crazy crowds. The city boasts a Mediterranean climate with consistently pleasant weather. Valencia sees an average of 300 days of sunshine per year with average high temps from 60 degrees in the cooler months to 85 degrees in the midst of summer. Wintertime is also pretty comfortable (between the mid-40s to mid-60s), and the city is more or less tourist-free. The downside to this time is that certain attractions will have shorter hours.
Best Valencia Spain Beaches
Valencia is famous for its beaches. There are several to visit, all of which are clean, family-friendly and mostly undeveloped.

I love visiting your site and finding fantastic new vacation destinations and virtually revisiting some of my favorites. I have yet to vacation in Spain, and these Valencia Spain hotels at the beach look incredible! Port Saplaya Beach seems like a nice place to enjoy things like a local does and enjoy some refreshing beachfront drinks!
Yes, Port Saplaya Beach would be the perfect place for some refreshing beachfront drinks! Glad you enjoyed my Valencia Spain Hotels guide.
Another good city from you for holidays. I just look at your article on Beaufort SC hotels, seeing this again is another well detailed look at Valencia Spain hotels. I love the way yo do not just take a hurry look at the hotel but you looked at the city in its totality. With this I have an idea of how I can make it memorable for my children and wife
Thanks so much. I am glad you enjoyed!
I have never been to Valencia, but after reading your post I have put it on my bucket list to visit as soon as travel has been opened up more.
the view in Valencia looks really beautiful and attractive.
Thank you for some great choices of places to stay and it will be hard to choose which beach, so possibly a trip to all.
You are welcome Stephen. Thanks for stopping by beach travel destinations.
I always wanted to visit Spain and a friend told me if I’m planning a visit to Spain when travel is open up again, I should visit Valencia, so I wanted to learn more about it, and as always I’m glad you have a great article to read about it, as I like how you share all the information anyone needs to plan a trip and see the best of each place that you share on your website. I bookmarked it as I want to visit a few cities in Spain and I know I will find accurate information that will help me to plan my visit!
Spain is wonderful. We had a cruise booked that got cancelled again because they are not allowing US citizens in yet. Hoping everything opens back up soon! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for bringing Valencia to our attention. It is one of those holiday destinations that you hear talked about as being wonderful.
Those beaches all look so inviting. Sagunto beach appeals to me. I like that there are lots of facilities close by.
The old town tour is definitely my type of trip. I love hearing about the history and culture of the area. Even though I’ll forget it again!!
There are certainly lots of places to eat, so we can eat somewhere different every night.
I can’t wait to get away on holiday. Just to escape the norm for a couple of weeks would be fantastic.
I agree Geoff! I hope you can visit the Valencia Spain hotels soon! Thanks for stopping by.
There are two places in Spain that I wanted to visit, Barcelona and Valencia. I have already gone to Barcelona so Valencia is still on my list of places I want to visit at some point as there are a few areas that I have seen looking amazing. Your article mentions a few but there are a few more I see that hadn’t noticed before. I will surely keep them in mind for when the time comes.Thanks!
Great Stratos! Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks for visiting Beach Travel Destinations.
I always love the beach and it is two years now due to pandemic that I am not going to a beach.
Haven’t yet gone from my country to another, either for business or travel. But I am taking note of your travel post so I can have a good choice when I start to travel.
I want my vacation and I really don’t like too much crowd. Valencia travel suit mine and my husband’s taste. Thanks for posting where and how can we optimize the beauty of our travel.
Great Rose, I think you and your husband would love Valencia Spain! Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Good day, I’m pleased to meet you. Well, I have never been to Spain before but having read about Valencia Spain Hotel makes me eager to travel there. Valencia being one of the vibrant cities in Europe is interesting, and offering a best combination of beaches and culture makes it fantastic. I am really dying to travel to Valencia.
Great! I am glad you enjoyed my Valencia Spain Hotels guide and it peaked your interest. I hope you’ll be vacationing soon! Thanks for stopping by.
Spain is really one of the best destinations to go to for holidays. I went to Barncelona some years ago with my family, and the place was really beautiful.
Had a lovely time. Valencia looks peaceful and quiet which is better for me now. I like the “El Saler” beach. It looks peaceful and quiet, reminds me of my home country.
I would love to visit one day with my family. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Thank you for visiting http://www.beachtraveldestinations.co...
I live in BC which is beautiful, but on the west coast, it is very rainy! 300 days of sunshine a year sounds unbelievable! That is definitely not the case where I live. I also love that Valencia has the feel of Barcelona but at a fraction of the price- this is a real draw. The vast stretches of sandy beaches are gorgeous. I will definitely look into Valencia as a great vacation spot.
Great Ann, I am sure you would enjoy getting out of the rain! Thanks for visiting BeachTravelDestinations.com
What a great article! I am planning a trip to Europe next year after the pandemic dies down, and your article has made Valencia a must-see stop on that vacation! I especially enjoyed your comparison of the various beaches. I do wish you had included a discussion of what the sand is like on the beaches, though. Some beaches have rocky sand while other beaches have very fine sand and I would have appreciated that information. I don’t know what the sand is like on those beaches, or whether the sand is different from one beach to the next. I enjoy the fine sand beaches the best, while my sister finds the rocky beaches more rustic.
I enjoyed the list of tours and the comparison of such a wide variety of hotels. This article really gave me everything I need to help me plan my trip! Thank you!
Great Lisa, and I can add info on the sand 🙂 It does make a difference for sure! Thanks for visiting Valencia Spain Hotels.
I have never been to Valencia, but after reading your post I have put it on my bucket list to visit as soon as travel has been opened up more. I prefer to avoid the crowds, so it is great to see that mass tourism has not yet hit that part of the Spanish coastline. I have been to Barcelona and loved the atmosphere, so if Valencia is similar, it is a must to get there.
Thank you for some great choices of places to stay and it will be hard to choose which beach, so possibly a trip to all.
Yes, you will find a similar atmosphere which is great. I love Spain, the culture, the food, and just the atmosphere. Worth vacationing to for sure. Thanks for visiting my Valencia Spain Hotels guide.
Before the pandemic started I spent 2 days in Valencia. There are many places I still want to visit on my nextr trip. Here are some that I am looking forward to take selfies in. First, is the narrowest house in Europe. In the heart of Valencia, located in the Plaza Lope de Vega, is the narrowest facade in Europe with only 107 centimeters wide, little more than the width of a door. I also want to visit the Albufera and the gardens of Monforte.
Sounds like a wonderful vacation with amazing selfies 🙂
