Valencia '07

The trip was a graduation gift from my girlfriend and it was wonderful! The City of Science alone is worth the journey, but the old town is no less. The aquarium is stunning, the rays especially are really friendly; anyway the whole Calatrava complex deserves a visit. The work along the old course of the Turia river is remarkable; the park is well equipped and lends itself to pleasant walks (the "Gulliver" play area is just wonderful). To eat in the city, I recommend a quick meal at the "Cerveceria e Montaditos" on the cathedral square (100 kinds of sandwich all at 1 Euro, SO GOOD!), while a good paella can be had on the seafront.
