Beau- tiful beaches provide the per- fect setting to start or end yo- ur day. However, in addition to the many sights, we cho- se three for which the city is widely known - the Holy Grail, the paella and the silk lodge. Cathedral The beautiful Gothic Cathedral of the Virgin Mary is a symbol of the city and one of its ma- in attractions.

Valensija je drevni španski grad smešten u istočnom de - lu zemlje, na mediteranskoj obali. Tokom vekova su je osvajali Rimljani, muslimani, hrišćani, a svako je razdoblje ostavilo svoj trag i neve - rovatne znamenitosti. Ov - de su prošlost i sadašnjost isprepletani, nema uobičaje - ne gradske vreve, a srednjo - vekovne građevine sa svojim tajnama, slikama i jedinstve - nom arhitekturom stoje rame uz rame sa modernim stvara - laštvom. Predivne plaže sa - vršene su za početak ili kraj dana u Valensiji. Ipak, osim mnogobojnih znamenitosti, izabrali smo tri po kojima je Od paelje do Svetog grala
grad nadaleko čuven – Sveti gral, paelju i ložu svile. Katedrala Prelepa gotička Katedra - la Device Marije jedna je od glavnih atrakcija grada i nje - gov simbol.
