Going to Valencia | Architecture of Sea &Science |
On the shores of the Mediterranean close to the mouth of the Turia river. Valencia is the 3rd largest city in Spain, with excellent tourist centre for the discerning visitor.Of historical interest yet cosmopolitan, the city has grown and adapted to the times, conserving its rich heritage while becoming a leading economic and financial centre in present day Spain. Bathed in Mediterranean sun, giving warmth is by no means strange that the poet in the Cantar del Mio Cid spoke of the "luminous city of Valencia. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the City itself and the warm, inviting character of its inhabitants. These structures are magnificent, like the one featured here. |

Hello Doreen! We only spent a day here in between the trains and went to the beach. We should have done some sight-seeing too but there's always another time. Happy birthday from Finland! | Nemorino Wed Jun 22, 2005 11:17 UTC
Brings back memories. I spent Christmas once in Valencia, while I was cycling around Spain. It was COLD (the orange crop froze that year) but otherwise very nice. I like the looks of that new Sea and Science building. | bugalugs Sat Jun 11, 2005 15:09 UTC
Oh isnt it a lovely place Doreen, a blend of old and new, and I too thought the river walk and the gardens were lovely, wouldnt mind a visit there myself one day, thanks :-) |
