From the fifteenth century Lonja (commodities trading hall) through the Modernista market and the 1960's draining of the river to create a massive curving park, to the renowned Cuidad de las Artes y las Ciencas; for all of these Valencia is justly famous.
The picture shows the market, a fantasia in steel and glass. It's a bustling place, doing great trade in a huge range of food: fish, meat, cheese, olives, vegetables, fruit, herbs, spices, cheese, eggs, bread and cakes. Nearly all the essentials of daily life are here. We didn't spot anyone selling whisky.
The famous new addition is of course Calatrava's enormous City of Arts and Sciences, as much engineering and sculptural triumphs as architectural. It draws 4m visitors a year (second only to the Prado, in Spain). And it's a separate post.
