Valencian Esplendor


Plaza de Toros

Valencia, Spain, is a flourishing city of contrasts. The core flaunts its storied past, from the Plaza de Toros {bull fighting arena} to the Lonja de la Seda {former Silk Market}. Then, outside of the center, the massive City of Arts and Sciences is a modern architectural and cultural focal point. My favorite part was l'Oceanogràfic, an oceanographic aquarium designed by architect Félix Candela. And of course, the trip was punctuated with delicious Spanish food {more on that Monday}.
