Malvarrosa Beach, Valencia, Urban beach in Valencia, Spain.
The Mediterranean beach stretches for 1300 meters along the coast with 140 meters of fine golden sand reaching toward turquoise waters.
During the 1850s, this area transformed from marshlands into a flourishing hollyhock flower plantation, which gave the beach its current name.
Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla captured the natural light and daily life of Malvarrosa Beach through numerous paintings that gained international recognition.
The beach maintains complete accessibility with ramps connecting the promenade to the water, rental services for chairs and umbrellas, and multiple sports facilities.
A designated channel section enables water sports enthusiasts to practice surfing, windsurfing, and canoeing while others can explore the Malvarrosa Reef.

Valencia shows its history through the ages, from Roman ruins hidden beneath the Place de la Vierge to the modern buildings of the City of Arts and Sciences. The old town keeps gates from the 15th century like the Torres de Quart, gothic churches with baroque frescos, and the Silk Exchange with its twisted columns that recall the town’s trading past. The Central Market, open since 1928, still has hundreds of stalls where local products are sold. The city is built around the old riverbed of the Turia, turned into a park that connects the older neighborhoods with the new areas. Beaches with soft sand are just a few minutes from the city center along the Mediterranean. The Fine Arts Museum has Spanish paintings from the 14th to the 20th century, while the Oceanographic displays thousands of sea creatures in its underwater towers. Between Gothic cathedrals and modern buildings, Valencia invites visitors to walk its streets and see how old and new parts of the city sit side by side.
