The Spanish Amsterdam


Valencia is a great city for cycling. An increasing number of people use the bike to circulate aroud the city. The advantages of the bicycle are obvious: you can avoid traffic jams, you dont't have to spend half an hour trying to find a parking place and last, but not least, it is harmless for the environment and for your health. Due to the growing number of cyclists and tourists, several cycle events are regularly organised, such as the monthly demonstration organised by Valencia en Bici. There are also companies that organise cycling tours around the city, including night tours and guided tours in English. For more information about cycling in Valencia, have a look at the following links:
