Valencia

Large port city on the east coast of Spain. The historic town contains sights to stroll around like the Plaza de la Reina, with the Cathedral and the Miguelete tower and not far away is the Silk Exchange -one of Valencia’s most beautiful buildings, a World Heritage Site, with its idyllic Patio de los Naranjos courtyard full of orange trees. The modernist Central Market is Europe’s largest fresh produce market. The National Ceramic Museum, the Quart and Serrano Towers are also popular attractions. The ultra modern City of Arts and Sciences stands in what was the river bed of the now diverted River Turia which now forms a park running the length of the city.
