Valencia Spain - Culture (1/3)







Valencia is the third largest city in Spain and home to Valencia oranges and the America's Cup Port. There is a LOT of seafood there, but some other Spanish favorites include: paella, hortchata and our personal favorite churros (donuts with hot chocolate sauce). The Turia River Park is an old river bed that is now a 9km park: walking, biking, soccer fields, mini golf, lots of play grounds (with a neat over-sized Gulliver), the biopark and the too-cool city of arts and sciences mostly designed by the city's own Santiago Calatrava. Other things of interest were the bull fighting ring, city gate, silk exchange, botanical gardens and the great beach. See the pictures here.
