First impression of this province
Valencia province stretches from the Mediterranean coast inland towards quieter hills and countryside. On the coast you find beaches, established resort areas and a more international mix of residents. Inland, villages and small towns tend to feel more traditional and relaxed, with landscapes of orange groves and farmland. Compared with Alicante, many parts of Valencia feel slightly less focused on international second-home buyers and a little more local in character. For some people, that is exactly the attraction.
