Okay, let’s talk about my trip to Valencia. I was there for a couple of months, and let me tell you, it was quite an experience. I decided to make a list of all the things I did, a sort of guide for anyone who wants to visit.
First off, I hit up the City of Arts and Sciences. Man, that place is like from the future or something. The architecture is mind-blowing. I wandered around, taking pictures, and just soaking it all in. It’s a whole complex, so I spent a good chunk of a day there. I also checked out the Oceanografic, which is part of the complex. It’s this huge aquarium, and I got to see all sorts of sea creatures. It was pretty cool.
Then, I took a stroll through the Turia River Park. It’s this long, green park that winds through the city. I just walked, enjoyed the scenery, and people-watched. There were folks jogging, biking, having picnics. It felt like a nice escape from the city bustle.
I also made my way to the old town area. There, I visited the Central Market. I wandered through the stalls, checking out the local produce, meats, and cheeses. It was a feast for the senses. I even picked up some snacks and had a little picnic right there.

One day, I decided to visit the Silk Exchange, this old building where they used to trade silk. It’s a UNESCO site, so you know it’s got some history. I walked around, admiring the architecture and imagining what it must have been like back in the day.
Oh, and I couldn’t miss the Valencia Nord Estacion, the train station. Even if you’re not catching a train, it’s worth a visit. The building is beautiful, with all these intricate details. I just stood there for a while, taking it all in.
I also made a quick stop at the Ceramics Museum. It’s housed in this fancy palace-like building. I browsed through the exhibits, checking out all the different ceramic pieces. It was interesting to see how the styles changed over time.
In the evening, I strolled around the old town, which is filled with charming little streets and plazas. I stopped at a random restaurant, ordered some tapas and a drink, and just enjoyed the atmosphere. There was a real buzz in the air, with people chatting and laughing.
And of course, I spent some time at the beach. Valencia is right on the coast, so you gotta take advantage of that. I lounged on the sand, took a dip in the Mediterranean, and just relaxed. It was the perfect way to unwind after all the sightseeing.
All in all, I had a blast in Valencia. I saw a lot of cool stuff, ate some great food, and just enjoyed the vibe of the city. It’s a place where you can have a mix of history, culture, and relaxation, which is exactly what I was looking for.
