Valencia, Costa Blanca, Spain
Valencia
Valencia is a charming old city and the capital of the Old Kingdom of Valencia province of Spain that is well worth a visit. Valencia is famous for its Fallas Festival in March, for being the birthplace of paella and for hosting the "2007 America's Cup".
More recently it has become famous for the massive architectural project by Santiago Calatrava called The City of Arts and Sciences. This is located where the old river Turia used to flow and over there you will find a Science Museum, a Planetarium, an IMAX cinema, an Aquarium and, in the near future, the Arts Museum.
There used to be a river running through the center of the city, but the river was redirected a while back and replaced by a beautiful park.
