On your last day in Spain, take time to indulge in shopping at Valencia’s popular marketplace, Barrio del Carmen. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces.
Before you conclude your road trip in Spain, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Valencia.
If you're in the mood to try something new, consider El Lleón bar, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Valencia. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Spain!
