Valencia, worth the detour??

Hello again.
Like I said in my previous post, I am a bit short on time and was wondering where I can cut back. I was wondering if you guys thought Valencia was worth the detour or if I should stick with Barcelona and surrounding areas?? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Stephanie, while Valencia has sandy beaches you wouldn't find in Nice or CT, I'd pass on it and stop in Granada instead. The Alhambra alone makes it worthwhile.

From Barcelona, Granada is an overnight train ride or a cheap ($60) 1 hour 10 minute flight. From Granada,it's 3 hours by train [several trains daily] to Sevilla. In contrast, it's 8 hours on the train [one train daily] from Valencia to Sevilla
