Introduction

Platja de la Malva-rosa lies north of central Valencia and is one of the city's longest urban beaches, with a gentle sandy shore opening wide onto the Mediterranean. A promenade runs along it, planted with palms and lined with restaurants, bars and seasonal services, making it a favourite spot for locals to swim, stroll, cycle and watch the sunset. In summer it is lively, with many swimming and sunbathing; in other seasons it is better for a coastal walk or simply sitting by the sea. Not far from Valencia's port and old town and easy to reach, it suits half a day by the sea between city sights, relaxed and everyday in mood.
