Calpe -- Turism

The autonomous region of Valencia is made up of the provinces of Castellon, Valencia and Alicante. The capital of the region is Valencia.

The Autonomy Statute was approved for Valencia in 1982. Article 9 of Valencia's regional regulations states: “The Generalitat of Valencia (Regional Government) is made up of various different ministries and departments: Valencia Assembly (known as 'Corts' in the local language), the President, the Government (known as 'Consell' locally) as well as other institutions which have been established in the present Statute”. Valencia's Assembly is made up of 89 members. They include 20 from the province of Alicante, 22 from the province of Castellon and 37 from the province of Valencia. The Autonomy Statute states that the local government "is a collective institution of the Government of Valencia that holds political and legislative powers. It runs the assembly that exercises its power under the guise of Valencia's self government".

The region of Valencia has a mainly Mediterranean climate: warm and dry summers, and mild winters.

The rainy season is mainly in spring and in autumn. There are often torrential rainfalls. Inland in the higher reaches of the region the rainfall may turn to snow. The temperatures are pleasant all year round, with an average that does not fall below 15ºC, with the exception of the mountain areas, where temperatures can fall below freezing.
