Valencia, Spain

Valencia Spain

Valencia values its huertas, or orchards, of citrus fruit trees, which thrive despite the dry conditions. Here visitors will discover monuments to water, or fountains, and celebrations of vegetation, or gardens. This provincial capital, the third largest city in Spain, also boasts a range of museums and ancient monuments and buildings, all with a distinctly Moorish and nautical feel. Valencia is the birthplace of both paella and orxata de chufas, and it provides the most genuine setting for tasting them. From the Old Town rises the Gothic and neoclassical Seu, Metropolitan Cathedral. Its tower, the Micalet, offers a sweeping view of the historic city centre. The interior of the cathedral is notable for its cool simplicity and simple, yet beautiful, six-panel altarpiece. The Museu de la Seu, the Cathedral Museum, holds among other lesser treasures, two large Goyas and one of Spain’s several supposedly authentic Holy Grails. Nearby is the Llotja de la Seda, the former silk exchange, with its handsome pillars. Whether you prefer the modern or the old, Valencia has everything to offer. You can lose yourself at night in the historic centre and walk in front of the illuminated cathedral or visit La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, the City of Arts and Sciences, the city's avant-garde side.
