DISCOVERING THE REGION OF VALENCIA'S LIQUID GOLD
Feel part of the rural environment you visit, taste the products and explore the history and tradition of the Region of Valencia through Oil Tourism. The Valencian region has a huge olive growing heritage with its own native varieties, six of which are among the main varieties grown in Spain, making our olive oils unique.
Ancient olive groves to explore or harvest when the season is right, cooperatives that allow you to help them with their work after visiting the fields, olive oil presses where you can take the harvested olives to be made into oil and get involved, olive oil museums to visit and the chance to savour the essence of this region at olive oil tastings. All this will make visiting the Region of Valencia a unique experience that you'll definitely want to repeat.
EXPERIENCE FISHING TOURISM IN THE REGION OF VALENCIA
The extensive coastline of the Region of Valencia, which is home to a good number of fishing ports, allows visitors the opportunity to get involved in the work of fishing by boarding a fishing boat where you can live and learn firsthand the work of the crew in the different fishing gear. The Valencian seafaring tradition is evident, not only by getting involved in such an authentic experience as embarking on a fishing boat, but also by visiting the fish markets where you can enjoy the great variety of fish that our beloved Mediterranean Sea supplies us with on a daily basis. Participating in these experiences is an incredible way to learn first-hand about our seafaring roots, our most traditional fishing gear, and thus contribute to its survival over time.
Destinations such as Dénia, Castelló de la Plana, Xàbia, Vinaròs, Torrevieja, Gandia, València or Peñíscola embark on the adventure of bringing the day-to-day life of fishermen closer to visitors looking for unique experiences from the locals. Guided tours of port facilities, fish markets and the possibility of buying what they have caught, as well as cooking and tasting fresh fish, will complete the visitor's experience in any of these destinations. A tourist modality still incipient but that undoubtedly becomes an unforgettable tourist experience.

El olivo (Olea Europea) es una especie típicamente mediterránea, que, junto con la vid, fue introducida en la Comunitat valenciana en la época de los romanos. Todo un símbolo en los primeros hervores de la cultura mediterránea y pilar de su economía gracias al fruto del cual se obtiene el tan preciado aceite de oliva o también conocido como el famoso “oro líquido”.
In an ever more globalised world, the experience of travelling requires unique places that justify the need to leave where we are and go to somewhere unknown.
