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 |

Valencia Spain |
We cannot end without talking about the most characteristic feature of this city, which gives it colour and life: the Mediterranean, of course. That inseparable part of our culture is very easily reached, and if you get to it by walking along the Avenida del Puerto, your efforts will be rewarded. This last avenue is lined with typical and traditional restaurants, some of them with the honour of having been visited by Hemingway on one of his visits to Valencia. Others more recently opened are a display of modern Valencian design, a city with a reputation for great creators. The city's coast consists of three beaches: Las Arenas, Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bar, sandwiches & beach |
Paseo Neptuno, 42 Valencia 46011 Spain +34 96 372 7777 |
During the day, this is a good place to come for lunch if you want something like a sandwich or hamburger. There's also the added benefit of having the beach right outside the door. At night, however, it turns into more of a bar, where people come for that first drink on a long night out. The candles on the tables give it a charming ambiance. The music ranges from 'remember' to pop. It definitely is a good place to get warmed up before heading to a disco. Review © 2007, Wcities |
