Spain Guide
Valencia and Murcia
Arrival
Arriving by train at Valencia's beautifully tiled Estación del Nord, you're close to the town centre; walk north along Avenida Marqués de Sotelo to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the central square. The bus station is some way out on the north side of the river; take local bus #8 or #79 or the metro to Turia, or allow a half hour if you decide to walk. The airport is 8km out of town, and served by metro lines #1 & #3; the most convenient stop for the centre is Colón. Alternatively, a taxi will set you back around €14. The Balearic ferry terminal connects with Plaza del Ayuntamiento via bus #4 and with the train station via the #19.
