Valencia Beach
Valencia City Spain
Valencia Beach is just a fifteen minute bus or tram ride from the center of town in Valencia city Spain.
In the late nineteenth and early 20th century Playa de las Arenas was famous for the beautiful Resort of Las Arenas which is no longer there.
Although the official name of the beach is Playa de Levante (also known as Playa de Cabanyal because of the nearby district of Cabanyal), the beach is still locally known as Playa de las Arenas.
The upmarket resort of Las Arenas has since been converted into the luxury 5 star Balneario de las Arenas Hotel.
The old resort was in the style of a Greek temple and known as the local meeting place for the Valencian middle classes.
Valencian artist Joaquin Sorolla and Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, (famous for his novel, Los Cuatros Jinetes del Apocalipsis - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse) often came here.
Ibáñez has a street named after him and at the end of this street, Avenida Blasco Ibáñez, is the old maritime fishing district of Cabanyal.
The novelist lived close to Las Arenas resort and his house is now a museum which can be found at - Casa Museu Blasco Ibáñez, Calle Isabel de Villen 1.
 Close to the new luxury hotel is the popular 4 star Hotel Neptuno is directly beside the beach next to the shops, bars and restaurants on the promenade of Las Arenas.
Old Quarter of Valencia, the hotel is close to the F1 track so perfect if you're coming for Valencia Grand Prix in June.
