Valencia, often called the “New Barcelona”, is the third largest city in Spain. It is located in the centre of the Mediterranean coastline. The city has one of the biggest ports in Spain, handling 20% of the country’s exports.
Valencia is rapidly becoming a popular destination for city breaks. Its transformation is caused by two large projects. The first one is the City of Arts and Sciences (La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias). It is an ensemble of five areas: opera house and arts centre; Imax cinema, planetarium and laserium; garden; science museum and open-air oceanographic park.
