Playa de la Malvarrosa (Malvarrosa Beach), Valencia (must see)

Malvarrosa Beach holds the distinction of being the most renowned among the beaches in Valencia. Malvarrosa Beach boasts pristine golden sands that attract both locals and tourists. Alongside the beach, a splendid boardwalk, established in 1980, hosts an array of delightful beachfront restaurants, bars, and shops.

To ensure the safety and well-being of visitors, the beach offers multiple first-aid stations and a designated bathing area with provisions for disabled individuals seeking assistance to enter the water. Thanks to its close proximity to the city and its expansive shoreline, Malvarrosa Beach serves as a hub for a plethora of activities and festivals.

One notable event that takes place annually is the Air Festival, which unfolds directly in front of the boardwalk. This grand celebration features participation from airplanes belonging to Spain's army air corps as well as aircraft from neighboring countries. Additionally, the beach plays host to the Neapolitan mascletá during the Valencian Fallas in March, and during the summer, visitors can enjoy spectacular firework displays showcased throughout the July festival season.
