The True Beauty of Spain
The history of Valencia, Spain spans thousands of years, from the day Roman soldiers set up camp along the Turia River. This is today, one of the most progressive and modern cities in Spain, with art museums, festivals and luxury hotels, Valencia has become a hot spot for travel in the country as well as for those around the world. The city is known for their design in their architecture and the flawless beauty of the city streets. Many archaeological discoveries have been made throughout the city, giving evidence that the Roman architects ‘knew what they were doing’, their influence on the city was well constructed and still remains.
Now the streets are lined with avant garde movie theaters and artsy cafes. Many of the most exciting and most attended festivals of the country are held in this city, and the cultural and musical and artistic scenes in this city should keep Manhattan, Paris, and San Francisco on their toes. There are more than forty museums in the city, one being the second most visited tourist attraction in all of Spain, The City of Arts and Sciences. And while the tourists flow in, the traditional culture and character has not been lost in this city, a sad occurrence that happens in many of Europe’s well traveled cities. While all cultures are embraced and welcomed here, the city never has lost its individuality. Through dance, and music, and food, the traditions remain.
And the food…this city has the distinct honor as the city that created Paella. The ingredients and produce used in the cooking is among the most fresh in the world. And while tasty and plentiful, all dishes are healthy and fresh. Whether at a fine dining establishment, or a small tapas bar, the cuisine is gastronomically phenomenal. Adding to the experience is the lush and fertile landscape surrounding Valencia. The waterways were designed to irrigate the fields using water from Turia River. Many gardens of vegetables and citrus orchards line the hillsides. Along with of course, the vineyards and the olive trees. Also close at hand is the Mediterranean Sea which offers up the freshest seafood,contributing to the reputation of the paella. Valencia is a feast, for the eyes, the ears, and the body, for all the senses.
