The drive to Valencia takes about 3 hours 30 min, covering a distance of about 350 km via the Autopista AP-7. The AP-7 is a toll motorway that runs along the Mediterranean coast of Spain all the way from La Junquera on the French border, down to Málaga and Guadiaro in the south. The AP-7 passes Tarragona and goes down the Costa Dorada. Finally, after through Castellon de la Plana it reaches Valencia. [links]
There is more to explore in Salou. If you are curious, go see thousand-year-old olive trees (they look very cool), a steam locomotive of the middle of the last century, some Roman ruins, and if heading to the eastern outskirts, passing not only Levante beach, but also Capellans, go to a very cool Mirador viewing platform with stunning views of the sea. more
Today, Miravet has around 700 inhabitants, but on those days when there is a football match, it feels like more. The local bars on the main streets are always crowded with the men from the village. more
The most famous building of the town is the Church of San Bartomeu and Santa Tecla on the shore. On one side, it has a monumental staircase leading to the sea. Behind it, the Sitges’ Old Town begins. The Old Town deserves a thorough walk too since it has several cute narrow streets dating from the Middle Ages (for example, Carrer d’En Bosc street) and the remains of the old city walls. Most of the symbolic buildings date back to the late 19th century, when Sitges became one of the centers of modernism.
Sitges is the first place I recommend visiting if you drive from Barcelona to Valencia. It is one of the most charming and prestigious towns on the Catalan coast. Being only 35 kilometers away from Barcelona, it also can be a nice day trip. Sitges is famous for its beautiful beaches on the Costa Dorada, exceptional tourist infrastructure, and rich cultural scene.
Drive to Valencia. The A-3 motorway connects Madrid to Valencia. The drive is about 200 miles and takes around four hours. In addition, the AP-7 motorway runs from Barcelona, which is about 230 miles north. This trip takes about three and a half hours, and runs parallel to Spain's Mediterranean coastline.
Take the train. Valencia is a major transportation hub for Spain, and receives local, regional, national and international trains at its station. High-speed trains connect Madrid and Valencia in about an hour and a half, with multiple departures daily. Additionally, trains to and from Barcelona take about three hours.
Valencia is both a region and a city in Spain. The area is famous for its oranges; and due to its location on the Mediterranean coastline, is a popular tourist destination. Valencia's long history dates back at least to 138 B.C. The city was conquered by a number of invaders, including the Romans, and the city was under Muslim rule for more than 500 years. Today the city features a wide range of galleries and museums as well as a number of fine dining establishments. The area is easy to travel to, as it is well connected to the rest of Spain and Europe via rail, air and road. here
Catch a flight into the city. Valencia's airport offers flights to most major European cities as well as to a few North African locations. As of early 2011, direct flights from the United States are not available; however, connecting flights from Madrid, Paris or London all operate numerous times daily.
