Valencia, as a coastal and beach city, has its peak of tourists during the summer and among the summer months, July is one of the months that receives the most visitors, as the usual tourism is added to the public that congregates in the capital of the Valencian Community to follow the events and festivals. In addition to the activities to see and do in Valencia all year round, in July you can enjoy the centenary Gran Feria, visit the Cuevas del Turche and the city's beaches and attend one of the festivals, which include everything from food trucks to competitions for the best ice cream on the Spanish coast.
The Cuevas del Truche stand out for the metre waterfall and the natural pools that can be reached after walking along the hiking trails and a protected lagoon. The amphitheatre of the Cuevas del Truche is one of the largest outside Valencia, together with the Gorgo de la Escalera. July is the best month to visit the Cuevas del Truche because this is when the waterfall has the greatest flow of water and when the temperatures are ideal for bathing in the natural pools.
Visiting the Cuevas del Truche is one of the best excursions to do from Valencia in summer. Book an excursion to visit caves, blackberries and mountain springs in Valencia. July is a month of traditions in Valencia and one of the most famous in the city is the celebration of the Great July Fair. It is undoubtedly one of the main events of the Valencian summer and, in a way, represents the beginning of the summer season in the city. The fair, which has been held since , opens each year with a musical performance by local artists and a fireworks display.
During the following days, activities range from musical shows to sports championships, children's workshops, art exhibitions, foam parties and gastronomic competitions.
All these fair events are not centralised in a single space, but are spread throughout the city. Gelato Festival is presented as the most gourmet event of the summer and proposes that each visitor can try 5 tubs of gelato flavours for free, only in exchange for voting for the one they like the most. With this background it is hard to refuse to participate in the event that promises to discover the ice cream route in the city and that is usually part of the best gastronomic tours of Valencia in the Valencian summer.
