Valencia- Seafood Paella and Centre for Art & Science

Valencia City of Arts & Science

Valencia, Spain has been in the spotlight with the recently concluded F1 races. It never occur to me that Valencia was one of the legs in the F1 season. Not even when I was in touring a large part of Spain during the earlier part of the year. Maybe the tour guide did mention about it but it didn't register. I was suffering one of my worst nose infection there and then.




I recalled that during my Valencia leg, I decided to finally give up on whatever meds I brought along in my first aid kit and made a trip to the pharmacy, next to the Hotel we stayed at. And thankfully, she understood me and handed me some very expensive decogestant and nose drops. Valencia was one of the bigger modern cities after we spent several days in the winter 'ghost-towns' of Costa Del Sol and more rural areas like Granada.


Apart from my trip to the Spanish Pharmacy, I recalled vividly Valencia's City of Arts and Science. They are a collection of very pretty modern structures. Just look at the sysmetry against the blue skies.

What I like about the whole place was that there were really cute exhibits and structures scattered around. See the running structure. I wonder if they are just a temporary exhibition or a permananent fixture.

With the newly bought Spanish meds, I could taste and enjoy my Spanish meal slightly better. This was one of the nice and rather fancy Spanish dinner we had during our trip.
