In the novel "Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse, the reference to "Valencia" is likely a reference to the Spanish folk song "Valencia" or "Valencia, la tierra del sol" (Valencia, land of the sun). The song is a popular traditional song from the Valencia region of Spain, and has been covered by many artists over the years.

The lyrics of the song generally praise the beauty and charm of the city of Valencia and the surrounding region, and it has become a symbol of the culture and identity of the Valencia region.

There have been many different versions of the song recorded over the years, including instrumental versions and versions with vocals in Spanish or other languages. Some popular recordings include versions by Xavier Cugat, Jose Carreras, and the Boston Pops Orchestra.

If you would like to listen to "Valencia", you can search for recordings of the song online or on music streaming platforms such as Spotify or YouTube.
