For trips to the Balearic Islands (Ibiza, Mallorca or Menorca), it’s best to book your ferry tickets 2 to 3 months in advance, especially if you plan to visit in the summer. Traveling in spring and fall offers more flexibility, but booking a few weeks in advance ensures the best prices.

Valencia is Spain’s third-largest city, celebrated for its Gothic cathedrals, cutting-edge architecture, sunny beaches, and one of the best food scenes in the country.
