Don’t miss out on Valencia in autumn and the food cooking competition in September

So we are in September and autumn is finally here. We can look forward to amazing colors in nature, but let's be honest, some of us still want to go on vacation to the Mediterranean Sea because we're simply looking for warm weather and more sunshine than we can hope for back home.

Barcelona, Rome, or..?

The go-to destinations you might expect are the vibrant capitals of Spain and Italy, but there are other intriguing places to explore. Barcelona and Rome draw countless visitors even as summer transitions into autumn, thanks to their pleasant weather and rich cultural offerings. However, there are also lesser-known gems with fascinating histories, delectable cuisine, and welcoming atmospheres waiting to be discovered.

Check out Valencia in September

Valencia is one of those places that are not as famous as the capitals of Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Further south on the charming eastern coast of Spain, far south of Barcelona, Valencia greets the sun towards the east every day. It has become increasingly popular among expats and tourists over the years. Despite this, the traditional culture in Valencia remains vibrant and enchanting. Here, you can embrace a leisurely pace of life, and of course, the coastline boasts the same breathtaking beauty found farther up north near Barcelona. Valencia truly offers a happy and inspiring experience for all who visit.

World Paella Day

If you're a food lover then you will enjoy the World Paella Day that occurs every year in September. That is when Valencians celebrate the world-renowned cuisine Paella. The celebration and competition between chefs is on September 20th. On that day the chefs who come from different parts of the world are going to compete in the (surprise surprise) who can make the best paella. So why not combine a late autumn weekend trip to Valencia with a visit to World Paella Day.
