Visit Valencia - Spain's third largest city, with over one
million inhabitants, Valencia is a skilful blend of tradition and modernity.
How could it be anything else? Founded by the Greeks two thousand years ago,
occupied by Carthaginians and Visigoths, in turn Roman, Arabian and finally
Christian, this large Mediterranean city is multilayered. It is also a
hot-blooded city. Of course, the climate is particularly mild here and the
taste for fiesta is in no way inferior to that of Barcelona. But Valencia is
also a city of protest with a resolute character. The city repelled the
soldiers of Napoleon's Old Guard but welcomed the Republican troops with
open arms in 1939, after the fall of Catalonia.
It is also - and has been for a long time - a forward-looking city. Evidence
of this can be seen in its City of Arts and Sciences and its Oceanographic
Museum (the third largest in the world), which attract almost as many
visitors as the museums of Madrid. In a few months' time the brand new opera
house will open, built, like the rest, by Santiago Calatrava, Valencia's
emblematic architect.
