Valencia, Spain

The world famous Spanish dish paella originated around Valencia. The city contains a dense monumental heritage (including the Lonja de la Seda, but its landmark is undoubtedly the City of Arts and Sciences an avant-garde and futuristic museum complex.

The Turia River was diverted in the 1960s, after severe flooding, and the old river bed is now the Turia gardens, which contain a children’s playground, a fountain, and sports fields. The Palau de la Música is adjacent to the Turia gardens and the City of Arts and Sciences lies at one end.

The Placa de la Verge contains the Basilica of the Virgin and the Turia fountain, and is a popular spot for locals and tourists. Around the corner is the Plaça de la Reina, with the Cathedral, orange trees, and many bars and restaurants.

The largest square is the Placa de l'Ajuntamen which contains the town hall (ajuntament), a cinema which shows classic movies (La Filmoteca), and many restaurants and bars. This is where the noisy fireworks of the mascletà can be heard every afternoon during the Las Fallas.

Enjoyment is only real when shared.

An important attitude is needed for travelling. Some people travel with great stress, rushing from one place to another, continue travelling even when they have reached saturation and this totally defeats the purpose to travelling and being out there! There is no need to rush through things.
