Although it is normal to consider it as a costa in its own right, the Valencian coast is in many ways the meeting of two. By this logic, the Costa del Azahar would extend down from Castellón in the north to the Bay of Valencia, while south of the bay the Costa Blanca with its mountain-backed coastline would begin. The Costa de Valencia is largely ignored by foreigners, but is popular with Spaniards, especially Madrileños, and is sometimes even referred to as the Costa de Madrid. Its beaches, even those of the city of Valencia itself, are superb, sweepingly long and broad, if a touch too well maintained for wilderness beach seekers. Its capital is one of the most modern, bustling cities in Spain, and is almost synonymous with the most avant-garde Spanish design in all its forms, from architecture to fashion. The province has attractive coastal towns and villages like Cullera and Oliva and a host of smaller family resorts, as well as the liveliness of this costa's second largest centre of population, Gandia. Inland, the province holds a number of welcome surprises, particularly in the south, but that is another story.
