the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, has undergone a complete renovation of its rooms' decoration and facilities, with the latest advances in voice and data communications to provide direct internet access from the rooms themselves. The hotel has also been brought up-to-date with regard to disabled access whilst retaining its unique character, with the restoration of part of its façade and entrance in line with its initial appearance in 1913. Its "La Pérgola" restaurant offers a magnificent buffet lunch, and its English-style "Victoria" bar a quiet spot to enjoy a drink and some truly excellent service.

Advantages: History, good food and attractions Disadvantages: Maybe not geared up for tourism
...'t need to use the public transport as it's easy to walk around the old city but if you want to there is a metro and buses. I actually walked, and walked and walked until I just about dropped. This is easy to do as you can get your bearings using adequate maps (mostly in Spanish though but decipherable to get to the main attractions.)
I went in late November and the weather was just right: not too hot, not too cold and most pleasant strolling along and finding skinny streets, little shopping blocks hidden away until I got to the main streets. What a joy the exploring was, even though I was on my own.
Valencia's old centre is quite compact so you can walk easily, best to concentrate on the three main squares: Plaza de la Reina, Plaza del Ayuntamiento and Plaza de la Virgen (my favourite!). The area is roughly determined by the rails...

Advantages: Nice beaches, great nightful, lots to see and do, easy to get to Disadvantages: Can be expensive
...the bell as it chimes on the hour, you'll certainly ask friends and family to speak up when talking to you! After the long walk down, relax at one of the many cafes for some tapas in the sun in the Plaza de La Reina, my legs ached for days afterwards!
*** Museums ***
If you like museums you'll love Valencia. There are far to many to name here, but IVAM (Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno) is very interesting. It displays 20th-century art. Its programme of activities includes permanent collections, temporary exhibitions, conferences, courses, workshops and the publishing of works. It includes the Julio González Centre, opened in 1989, and the Sala de la Muralla (Wall Room), in the basement of the front building, with remains of the city's old medieval fort, inaugurated in 1991. The IVAM is attached to the Department of Culture...

Advantages: The Festivity is amazing Disadvantages: almost the whole city centre is closed to traffic, but we have feet to walk!
...Update: Just added pictures in XXL scale. Just have a look if you feel the review is too long to read it all! Thank you.
VALENCIA AND "FALLAS" : MUST SEEN
I lived in Valencia (Spain) for about 5 years, and I have to say that being Spanish, but from the North, this region has nothing to do with my own region. There are people that think that Spain has almost the same culture everywhere, but this is not completely true, and some regions have a specific culture and events that you will not find anywhere else in Spain. This is the case of Valencia, especially when we talk about their main festivity: the "Fallas" .
WHAT ARE THE FALLAS?
Basically, although there would be lots to say, the Fallas is an old tradition that has changed through time. There is a week when they put in the streets hundreds...

I love reading, but in the last few months I've found it hard to find the time or the energy to read anything other than a newspaper or magazine. Then whilst reading the "Metro" on the way to work last month I spotted a review on this book by debut... more
