The European Grand Prix 2010 is run on Valencia's city streets and along the picturesque port and this is a wonderful opportunity to visit one of Spain’s most vibrant cities. Although in existence long before, in the 15th century Valencia was one of the Mediterranean’s most important sea ports and trading centres, a magnet for wealthy traders, craftsmen, poets and artists all leaving a rich and colourful legacy. The early Moorish conquerors were responsible for much of Valencia’s architecture. Lush, green gardens and water features were important to the Moors – spaces to escape the heat of the Mediterranean sun and to sit under shady trees – and Valencia has many parks and gardens, much loved and well used by the inhabitants. You can trace Valencia’s history in the cuisine too – Valencia is the birthplace of paella and each town and village has its own special recipe. The land around Valencia is rich and arable and the markets are full of luscious, fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and seafood.
Valencia comes alive at night, but not until around 9pm when bars and restaurants start to fill and people come out to enjoy the cool of the evening. The many squares are meeting places where eating and drinking long into the night is a pleasure. If you are not spending all your time at the Formula One track there are plenty of sightseeing and excellent shopping opportunities in Valencia too.
The Valencia Grand Prix track is easily accessible by public transport and entrance to the F1 grandstands is well planned and efficiently operated. At the end of the 2010 European Grand Prix race you can take your time and avoid the rush back to town and be on the beach with a refreshing brew in just 5 minutes!
Our 2010 Valencia Grand Prix tour is based on a three night stay in the centre of Valencia in an excellent three star hotel. If you would like to fly from an alternative airport, extend your stay in Valencia or in one of the many beach resorts do not hesitate to call us.
