Valencia / Comunitat Valenciana
Stereotypically best known for its oranges and paella, this city (Spain's third largest) and province of the same name has both tradition and modernity in spades (cutting-edge architect Santiago de Calatrava is from here). The beach resorts are legion, and the March festival known as the Fallas, featuring enormous papier-mâché figures, is one of the world's great parties. Culturally and linguistically, it's an extension of Catalonia, to the north.

I just found out that Valencia has become the first city in Spain to jump on the restaurant-week bandwagon. The first "Cuina Oberta" started yesterday and runs through the 21st. 51 upscale restaurants (including a Michelin-starred one called Riff) are offering lunch menus for 18 euros and dinner prix-fixe for 30 euros. Well, keep it in mind for next June! (www.ValenciaCuinaOberta.com)
