 Famous writer's 19th century house |
Paseo Marítimo, s/n Valencia 46011 Spain +34 96 356 4786 |
The house of the Valencian writer, Blasco Ibáñez, is situated on the Paseo Marítimo near Malvarrosa beach. It was recently renovated and is a fine example of the Valencian bourgeois architecture of the past century. The building is well-known for the caryatids which adorn the front of the house. You can visit the writer's study which includes furniture from Ibáñez´s time and a display of various editions of his novels and photography. This house has a marvelous view of the beach, painted so many times by Joaquín Sorolla, a personal friend of the writer's. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Have a paella by the beach |
Paseo Marítimo, s/n Valencia 46011 Spain |
This is the place to come for an authentic paella and you can eat it on one of the outdoor terraces at the same time as enjoying the sun and the sea breeze. The long boardwalk has loads of restaurants to choose from and its a popular gathering point for locals all year round. As soon as the sun appears half the population makes their way down here. You can have a swim in the sea before or after lunch as well. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Vanguard Architecture |
Paseo de la Alameda, 30 Valencia 46023 Spain +34 96 337 5020 http://www.palauvalencia.com |
The Palacio de la Musica is situated in the old river bed of the Turia. It was constructed in 1987 and is one of the banner buildings of modern Valencia, within what's known as the vanguard architecture movement in the city. One of its most distinguising features is the glass enclosure that looks out on the gardens in the Turia. From here you can watch the fountains that have been designed to spout to the beat of the music heard from the Palau throughout the garden. The building was built specifically to promote culture and that's exactly what it has done. Concerts, operas, ballets, musicals, conferences, presentations, and all sorts of other educational activities have been and continue to be held inside and outside the building.

 Old ship-building site, today museum |
Calle de Jose Aguirre Valencia 46011 Spain +34 96 352 5478 |
You can visit the Reales Atarazanas, which are located next to the plaza del Tribunal de les Aigues at the bottom of Avenida del Puerto. This is a unique and important building within the city's naval and merchantile history. The original construction dates back to the 14th century and was where ships were formerly built. Its architecture is clear indication of the wealth achieved in Valencia and the importance of commerce, especially in the 15th century. Today the Atarazanas serves a very different purpose. It now houses the Joaquín Saludes Maritime Museum, with a valuable collection of archaeological pieces and models, including the famous Libro del Consulado del Mar (Sea Consulate Log).
