Valencia, Stadt der Künste und der Wissenschaften – Zwei Seelen wohnen in ihrer Brust. Die spanische Stadt ist zugleich modern, avantgardistisch und fast futuristisch und doch auch provinziell, traditionell und nostalgisch. Als drittgrößte Stadt Spaniens hat Valencia das Temperament einer mediterranen Metropole, deren breite Alleen die Altstadt umschließen. Eine Fülle architektonischer Stile bestehen harmonisch nebeneinander. Mit ihrem beeindruckenden Kongresszentrum und der Stadt der Wissenschaften, deren futuristisch anmutende Struktur aus kristallin-blauem Wasser emporsteigt, wendet sie sich jedoch resolut dem 3. Jahrtausend zu.

Jahrhundert reicht.

Marvel at the delicate marble columns, graceful arcades and fine craftsmanship in the Sultans' "paradise on earth". The Hall of the Ambassadors and the Court of the Lions are considered as the gems of this oriental jewel box. From its windows you can look back across to the old quarter of Albayzin and the gypsy haunts of Sacromonte.
