  Valencia is the capital of what is a popular tourist region in Spain that shares its name, it is the countries third largest city with a population of just over 800000. The city has its own distinct personality and offers something for all ages and tastes. It brings together its modern image with futuristic structures and buildings alongside its historic Old Town known as El Carmen with its Gothic cathedral and Rococo Palace. All sitting next to a fantastic coastline and beach area onto the blue Mediterranean.  Its a interesting city to visit and one we have been lucky to sample a couple of times both as a city break and as a cruise port stop.  How to get there Valencia International Airport also known as Manises Airport  The Airport is situated 5 miles west of the city center and well connected to many other European destinations there are two public transport options from the airport to the city ither by frequent airport bus connections or the slightly more expensive metro system,
