Valencia Spain

In the centre of the Mediterranean coastline is the charming province of Valencia Spain. The scenic beauty of Valencia is heightened by the spacious Gulf of Valencia. A section of the province is guarded by a series of small mountains and sloping plains forming the lands of Aragon and Castile-La Mancha. The Balearic Islands is situated in the opposite direction of Valencia. The two important cities of Spain, Madrid and Barcelona, is equidistant from Valencia. The Mediterranean climate has very much influenced the culture and social life of Valencia particularly derived from the ancient Mare Nostrum that is the Roman traditions in Mediterranean.

The importance of Valencia is no less as it forms the administrative capital of the 3 provinces of Valencian community. Many municipal districts encircle Valencia making it a busiest and densely populated town. Valencia Spain offers many tourist sites. There are some historical remains of the apron wall in the basement of Valencia institute of Modern Arts and the elegant Torres de Serranos. The districts of Seu and Xerea offer some marvelous aesthetic heritage where the remnants of the Romans are hidden beneath the Arab ruins and modern palaces and churches. The Mercat district includes two exemplary buildings used for trading purposes. UNESCO has declared the gothic building of La Lonja as a heritage of humanity for its graceful columned room in which historical trading transactions once took place on the ancient table. Interestingly the table is still in use. The town of Valencia, with its broad pavements and modern architecture, took shape outside the ruined walls of La Lonja and it was mostly inhabited by the bourgeoisie class. The ultramodern part of the city lies on the other side of the Turia having revolutionary theme parks and other sites throbbing with active cultural life.

Valencia Spain is a very unique and interesting place superbly amalgamating rich historical past and modern lifestyle.
