December Long Weekend in Valencia 2023: Plans and Accommodation
In the blink of an eye we are entering the final stretch of the year and with it comes the long-awaited long weekend in December. It is also known as the Puente de la Constitución (Constitution Bank Holiday) because it is celebrated on 6 December, the Day of the Spanish Constitution, and on 8 December, the Day of the Immaculate Conception. During this period, the Christmas spirit has already taken hold of all of us. For weeks we have been seeing the Christmas lights in the streets and shops, thinking about this year's presents and the Christmas markets filling the streets and squares.
Valencia welcomes these festivities and events with a lot of charm and becomes a magical city. The capital of Turia is always a good plan for various reasons: its Mediterranean climate allows you to stroll through its green spaces practically all year round, it is a tasteful and degustable city, and offers the most fun leisure plans for everyone.
Take the opportunity to get to know the capital of Turia in all its splendor, especially this year when the centenary of the death of the painter Sorolla is celebrated. If you still have any doubts about whether to visit this December, we recommend a list of plans to spend the Constitution Bridge in December in Valencia. Take note!
