Valencia Travel Information
Spain's third city has a host of attractions to delight the visitor, not
least is the famous Fallas festival in March, when bonfires light up the
sky and everybody dances in the streets.
Valencia
Spain
The Romans, Visigoths and Arabs all left their marks, so monuments, art
and fine architecture, such as the 14th century Serranos Tower, abound
but there are also plenty of modern attractions, such as the many
recently opended interactive museums, futuristic buildings designed by
architect Santiago Calatrava and other facilities of the City of Arts
and Sciences.
The focal point for sightseeing and leisure, the Plaza del Ayuntamiento,
is near the Gothic Cathedral, dominated by the octagonal bell tower of
'El Miguelete'.
Don't leave Valencia without trying the Paella Valenciana!
