The Valencian Coast stretches along a
province with two clearly distinct landscapes: the coast and the
mountains.
On the coast lay the
prosperous districts that enjoy the fabulous fertile plains, with
irrigated crops that form an evergreen mosaic all year round. On the
other hand, behind an area of gently sloping foothills in which dry
and light-irrigation farming are characteristic, lies the wild,
almost unknown inland; the mountainous arch of the Valencia mountain
range, cut here and there by its impressive river canyons, stands in
a setting dotted with vast pine forests where caves and prehistoric
shelters with many cave paintings lie hidden. The low, sandy
coastline of shallow waters has only one outstanding geographical
feature: Cape Cullera. This is the point where the mountains reach
the sea. A barrier of dunes flanks the beaches, as well as some
marshy areas and freshwater pools, such as the swamps of Puig and
Jaraco (Xeraco), and above all, the lagoon of Valencia. This
coastline is reached by four rivers that begin their journey in the
mountains: Palancia, Turia, Júcar (Xúquer) and Serpis. These meander
down to the coastline where they enter the sea, brimming with marine
traffic in and around the ports of Sagunto, Valencia and Gandía.
There we find modern sailing facilities for sports vessels and
lively tourist centres, from where travellers will have the chance
to discover the beauty of the highlands, the mountain spas, camping
areas, Iberian and Roman towns, emblazoned houses, castles and
towers.
