Valencia
Mediterranean Spanish city
Valencia names several places, most famously the third-largest city in Spain and its surrounding region.
The name appears across the Spanish-speaking world—a major Venezuelan city, a California county.
Valencia oranges, sweet and nearly seedless, originated in the Spanish region and remain a major variety worldwide.
We picked up some Valencias at the farmers market.
