Day Trips from Valencia

When all is said and done - a city is a city. Whether it is Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Paris, New York or Hong Kong, they're all the same really. A whistle-stop tour of Spain which takes in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Granada and Bilbao but nowhere else misses out some of the most beautiful and diverse parts of Spain. This list of day trips from Valencia should help you decide where to go when you're bored of tall buildings.

My definition of a day trip is somewhere you could conceivably visit in one day - even if that means getting up very early and returning very late at night. However, some of the trips recommended here are a little impractical if you want to return to Valencia the same day.
