Puerto Autonomo de Valencia
On a beautiful September morning before leaving Valencia, we took a taxi and headed to the port. We were curious about the coming 32nd America's Cup Challenge so we decided to make a short visit and did our stroll and took some nice captures of the area.

Interesting tips on a city that has changed a lot (!) since I went through on my bicycle at Christmas 44 years ago. Thanks for including the stunning new opera house. | matcrazy1 Sat Mar 10, 2007 09:52 UTC
Great tips and a surprise for me! I saw exclusively old face of Valencia as I was there over 10 years ago (my first Spannish city :-). Barraca looks very nice. |
