One of the largest cities in Spain and seaports in the Old World, Valencia is an important transport hub and crossroads for European tourist destinations. Travelers on the mainland of Spain leave from here by sea to the islands and even other continents, especially since ferries from Valencia have long established themselves as convenient and profitable means of transportation.
