Valencia and the nearby town of Moncada offer a rich blend of history, culture, and everyday Spanish life in eastern Spain. Valencia is known for its striking mix of ancient architecture and modern design, from its historic old town and lively plazas to the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, all set along the Mediterranean coast. Just a short distance away, Moncada provides a more local, small-town feel, where traditional markets, family-run cafés, and quiet streets showcase authentic Valencian culture. Together, they offer travelers the chance to experience both the vibrant energy of a major city and the warmth and charm of a close-knit Spanish community.

This Valencia experience is designed to be flexible, immersive, and fun for the whole family. Parents can enjoy time exploring the city while children ages 5–12 participate in a kids camp at a local language school, where they’ll join Spanish and bilingual activities and connect with local children learning English. The trip includes comfortable accommodations at Hotel SH Lyceum Moncada, featuring a shared outdoor pool, a great location, five delicious breakfasts, and two main lunches. You’ll also enjoy guided time discovering Valencia, with highlights centered around local culture and traditions. One of the most unforgettable moments of the trip is celebrating the Festival of San Juan, a vibrant midsummer tradition filled with bonfires, celebration, and symbolism where locals and travelers alike jump over flames to welcome good luck and new beginnings.
