Home Swap Valencia: Modern One Bedroom in the city center of VALENCIA

About the location

Any time is a good time to visit Valencia. Spain’s third-largest city is a magnificent place. Content for Madrid and Barcelona to grab the headlines while it gets on with being a wonderfully liveable city with thriving cultural, eating and nightlife scenes. Never afraid to innovate. Valencia diverted its flood-prone river to the outskirts and converted the former riverbed into a glorious green ribbon of park winding right through the city.

On it are the strikingly futuristic buildings of the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias. Designed by local boy Santiago Calatrava. Other brilliant contemporary buildings grace the city, which also has a fistful of fabulous Modernista buildings. Great museums, a long stretch of beach and a large, characterful old quarter. Valencia is also surrounded by its huerta. A fertile zone of market gardens, is also famous as the home of rice dishes such as paella, but its buzzy dining scene offers plenty more besides; it’s a superb spot for eating.

Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias – This aesthetically stunning complex occupies a massive 350,000-sq-metre swath of the old Turia riverbed. It’s occupied by a series of spectacular buildings that are mostly the work of world-famous, locally born architect Santiago Calatrava. The principal buildings are a majestic opera house, a science museum, a 3D cinema, and an aquarium. Calatrava is a controversial figure for many Valencians, who complain about the expense and various design flaws. Nevertheless, if your taxes weren’t involved, it’s awe-inspiring and pleasingly family-oriented.

Additionally, The promenades and pools around the buildings make for pleasant strolling and you can hire bikes, paddleboards and various other contraptions to enjoy them.
