About Valencia:
Spain’s third-largest city is a magnificent place, content for Madrid and
Barcelona to grab the headlines
while it gets
on with being a wonderfully liveable city with thriving cultural, eating and nightlife scenes. Never
afraid
to innovate,
Valencia diverted its flood-prone river to the outskirts and converted the former riverbed into a
glorious
green ribbon
of park winding right through the city. On it are the strikingly futuristic buildings of the Ciudad de
las
Artes y las
Ciencias, designed by local boy Santiago Calatrava. Other brilliant contemporary buildings grace the
city,
which also
has a fistful of fabulous Modernista buildings, great museums, a long stretch of beach and a large,
characterful old
quarter. Valencia, surrounded by its huerta, a fertile zone of market gardens, is famous as the home of
rice
dishes such
as paella, but its buzzy dining scene offers plenty more besides; it's a superb spot for eating.
