Alzira in Valencia is at the centre of a number of ancient historical sites, making it a good central base for touring the area. Visit the old walls around the Júcar, which was once the Muslim area, and look at the traditional façades. For a modernist feature, the Círculo Alzireño (which was once the enclave of the middle classes) is worth a visit, as is the Esculapian School opposite, which houses the Arts Centre. The people of Alzira love to celebrate, and there are many fiestas to see where you can soak up the atmosphere.
Why not visit in March, to see “Fallas” with the papier-mâché sculptures on parade, whilst Holy Week is a Festival of National Interest. Fruit and flower festivals are held in summer, so be sure of a discount hotel room during peak times by making your reservation here at EasyToBook.com where you’ll find the best Alzira hotel prices. The surrounding countryside offers beautiful walks and cycle rides, and the proximity of the River Júcar will enable keen rowers and canoeists to explore the area. Alzira is just five miles from Valencia Airport, making it a very accessible destination for a short break.
