Valencia

The original Valencia, Valentia Edetanorum, was founded in 138 a.c by the Roman Empire as a place of rest whilst on their European rampage. Today, in the 21st century, Valencia is a dynamic modern city so important in many ways that it has become the 3rd most important economy in Spain. Sitting on the mouth of the river Turia, Valencia is one of those unique places that has many to combine some of the most modern architecture with it’s rich historical jewels.

Some beautiful gothic buildings and medieval palaces along with one of largest historic town centres’ anywhere in Europe stand in the same city as more up to date and futuristic structures such as the Palacio de los Congresos designed by no other than Sir Norman Foster, there is an entire complex built in the city, home to the “Cuidad de las Artes y Ciencias”(City of Arts and Science) by Santiago Calatrava, which is so unique by design that you would be mistaken for thinking that it was from a movie set, all this without losing a shred of its identity.

This is the Port of Spain to the Mediterranean, open not only to the sea but to all who visit there also. Discover one of Valencia’s many beaches such as La Malvarrosa or Levante or simply stroll though its streets and gardens is a pleasure to behold. This with the fact that there is a gastronomic offering here to wonder at makes a trip to Valencia whether for leisure or business an absolute delight. The thought of Valencia instantly conjures the image of one of Spain’s most famous culinary creations, “Paella”, and nowhere on the peninsula, is it done better than here.

But with an endless list of rice dishes to try most of which married up with the local seafood offering you are in a gastronomic paradise. And if you want to party after the relentless eating out then you have come to the right place, the city is also known for its nightlife or “marcha” and has some of the best clubs and shows in the country.
