What is our number one recommendation for things to do in the area around Valencia, Spain? A quick Google search will bring up plenty of lists of museums, churches, and historical sites to visit on your trip to Valencia. Our experience tells us that those sites are best reserved for adult-only trips. If you are bringing your young kids along, and we recommend that you do, skip the lines and city hustle and opt for a farm stay instead.
One of our goals while living in Malta was to take a family trip at least once every three months. When fall of came around, we decided to take a trip to area of Spain around Valencia. As you will see throughout this blog, we absolutely love Farm Stays Agriturismo in Spanish. We find that they are far more peaceful than trying to stay in the city when you have little ones with you.
The truth is, we never even went into Valencia on this trip apart from the airport. We had three days to visit and had far too much fun in the area around our agriturismo, and that is OK! Just because your are visiting a new country does not mean you have to tick off sites to see.
Sometimes it is better to just soak in the environment, food, and culture. While Ryanair is not well known for comfort or style, it does take the cake when it comes to cost, which for us is often the key driver.
We almost always rent a car on our trips we believe it is a necessity with kids , so picked up our Goldcar rental car booked via Ryanair due to lowest price and started the 1 hr 45 minute drive down the coast.
