Spain TEFL Program - Valencia

Valencia- the capital of the Spanish autonomous community of Valencia ( Spain ) and its province - is the 3 rd largest city in Spain . Valencia is known the world-over for many of its cultural attractions, such as the newly-built City of Arts and Sciences (by world-famous architect Santiago Calatrava), as well as its annual festivals, such as the Las Fallas festival and La Tomatina - the annual tomato fight. As famous for its elements of culture, Valencia 's nightlife has been an alluring attraction for decades - as early as the 1980s. While a modern city in its own rite, the city of Valencia is still an old and charming city on the beautiful Mediterranean Sea .
