ValenciaSpain
Valencia, Spain is a city full of history, culture, and modern innovation. Here are a few points of interest and facts about Valencia:
The City of Arts and Sciences: This futuristic complex is designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. It includes an opera house, a science museum, an IMAX cinema, an oceanographic park, and more.
La Lonja de la Seda: This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a prime example of late Valencian Gothic architecture. It was originally used for trading silk, hence the name "Silk Exchange."
Turia Gardens: Once a river flowing through the city, it was diverted to prevent flooding and the old riverbed was turned into one of the largest urban parks in Spain.
Central Market (Mercado Central): This is one of the largest markets in Europe, with a spectacular art-nouveau building housing hundreds of stalls selling fresh produce, meats, and seafood.
Valencian Paella: Valencia is the birthplace of the world-famous dish, paella. True Valencian paella is made with rabbit, chicken, and beans.
The Fallas Festival: This is a wild, annual festival that culminates in the burning of hundreds of large puppets (fallas) throughout the city.
Valencia's Beaches: The city has several great beaches including Malvarrosa and El Saler, which are popular with both locals and tourists.
Valencia Cathedral and the Holy Grail: The Valencia Cathedral is a beautiful mix of Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque styles. It is claimed to house the Holy Grail, the cup Jesus is said to have used at the Last Supper.
The Albufera: This is a large freshwater lagoon and estuary on the Gulf of Valencia coast. It's a fantastic place for birdwatching and is also where the rice for Valencian paella is grown.
Valencia's Old Town: This part of the city is home to winding streets, small squares, and historic buildings, a contrast to the modern City of Arts and Sciences.
These are just a few of the highlights. Valencia offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern architecture, great food, vibrant festivals, and a welcoming Mediterranean climate.

Living, breathing and radiating the energetic Spanish temperament's positive vibe, unparalleled Barcelona is surely a place not to be missed in Europe! It is the best location on the planet to view Antoni Gaudi's architectural genius, including his precious unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia Basilica, as well as the splash of colors of Park Guell and the uniqueness of his Casa Batllo and Casa Mila. In fact, Barcelona is such a popular European destination that it's often mistakenly considered as Spain's capital! All doubts aside, there's much to see in this heart-stealing Catalan seaside gem as it finds a way to harmoniously blend the old and the new, the natural with the man-made. Get tangled in the narrow labyrinths of the Gothic Quarter, see the 13th-century Barcelona Cathedral, explore the former royal palace now housing Catalonia's finest art museum and Magic Fountain, enjoy the indescribable young atmosphere of La Rambla, stop by the bustling home of FC Barcelona, Camp Nou, and rise up to Mount Tibidabo to capture the best views over Barcelona to remember a lifetime!
