VALENCIA
Calling Code: +34 (96)
The traditional siesta is alive and well in Valencia so do your shopping in the morning or late afternoon.
The bat, or lo rat penat (winged rat), is the official city symbol. One theory why: When the Catalonian king Jaume I was about to capture the city from the Moors in 1238, a bat landed on his battle flag.
Quick tips/suggestions
The Platja de Malvarrosa beach has its old-school charms, but the swimming is better south of the city.
