The City of Arts and Sciences: A Glimpse into the Future A breathtaking architectural complex, the City of Arts and Sciences is Valencia’s most modern icon. Spanning a 2-kilometer stretch of the old Turia riverbed, these futuristic structures house a digital planetarium (L'Hemisfèric), an interactive science museum, and Europe’s largest aquarium (L'Oceanogràfic). It is a must-visit for families, and lovers of cutting-edge design.

Born in the fertile lands of the Albufera lagoon, the authentic Valencian Paella is the ultimate symbol of Spanish gastronomy. Unlike mixed seafood versions found elsewhere, the original recipe is a rustic masterpiece featuring short-grain rice, chicken, rabbit, bajoqueta (green beans), and garrofó (large lima beans). Cooked over an open fire of orange wood, it is a social centerpiece meant to be shared with friends and family under the Mediterranean sun.

Football isn't just a sport in Valencia; it’s a religion. Founded in 1919, Valencia CF is a powerhouse of La Liga, known for its legendary stadium, Mestalla, and its fierce "Che" spirit. The iconic bat on the crest represents the city’s history, dating back to King James I. Whether you are hearing the roar of the crowd or seeing the white and black colors across the city, the club is an inseparable part of the Valencian identity.
