I have been a visitor on my holiday to the city of Valencia since 2013, and only noticed slight improvements and changes as far as its tourist offers were concerned, but in the last years,
Ifellinlove with the city and since then I find myself traveling there whenever I can. I have always been fascinated by the Saint Joseph Festival of Fallas, then I discovered the complex called
‘TheCityof the Arts and Sciences’ and I am sure that those are two things you should experience when you’re in Valencia.
Yearly Valencia Happenings
Valencia Fallas is a yearly happening which reaches its highest points on the night of March 19th after having initiated the beginning on March 15th
with stunning carton monuments on almost every corner, half hour long fireworks every night, historical parades of the Moorish in the streets and the local people dressed up in their best brocade
traditional outfits in a jovial religious procession bringing flowers to the Virgin of the Unsheltered, which is the Patron Saint of
Valencia.
Another ‘not to be missed’ attraction is the architecture which houses the now complete City of the Arts and Sciences. There are four main buildings:
Oceanographic with over 45,000 samples of 500 different species of underwater life including a special tank with sharks which you can walk under.
Museum of the Sciences Prince Philip where you can participate in all kinds of experiments and learn a lot more about biology and
genetics.
The Hemispheric where you can sit back, choose and enjoy any of the three audio-visual shows, either at the Planetarium, the Laserium or on the gigantic screen watching documentaries
where you feel you are an active part.
The Queen Sophia Palace of Arts this was opened in October 2005 with the presence of the Queen. Here, all visitors will be honoured with performing arts in theatre, opera and all
kinds of dance exhibitions.
With all these activities, the Valencia Airport has been making important improvements and has been gradually increasing its offer of flights from all over the world. There are plenty hotels and
better transport for all those who wish to be an important part of Valencia Spain.
