The Place
Valencia, Spain
City introduction
Paella at its source, a City of Arts straight from sci-fi, and beach days. Valencia is Spain's most underrated big city: the birthplace of paella (eat it where it was invented, over wood fire), Calatrava's gleaming City of Arts and Sciences, Turia's sunken river-garden, and Malvarrosa's city beach. Quieter than Barcelona, cheaper than Madrid.
