So why did Spanish province, Valencia's street circuit pop up onto the Grand Prix scene in 2008 when there is already the world-famous Street Circuit over the French border in Monaco? Well, Valencia's Dutch-style landscape is pancake flat so while there is opportunity for huge sweeping straights and close hairpin bends; it is markedly different to the sharp rising straights of Monaco. Plus racing drivers have the 140 metre swing bridge to contend with.
Sun-seekers, exciting attractions, parties, buzzing nightlife, history and stunning natural scenery.
