| Area Description | |
| A truly mind-blowing confection of some of Europe's most awesome architecture, the City of Arts and Science in Valencia is fast becoming one of Spain's top tourist attractions.
This futuristic "city within a city" must surely rank as one of the world's most exciting and imaginative millennium projects. The entire complex, designed to celebrate the arrival of the 21 st century, looks as though it might have been beamed down to earth from another planet. Valencia's City of Arts and Science from afar at night And it's a down to earth approach which really defines this space age cultural complex because it's all about firing the masses with enthusiasm for the arts and science. The breathtaking structures are enough in themselves to lure visitors in their millions. You don't have to be an opera buff or science boffin to enjoy a day out here - in fact if you're on a tight budget you can just wander round this incredible "city" without even buying an entrance ticket. Santiago Calatrava, who master-minded most of the complex, says" I am proud of the fact that people can walk through and around the main buildings without paying. It is a city to be discovered by promenading." You can promenade for more than seven kilometres around the complex thanks to the vision of this internationally acclaimed architect, artist and engineer who allowed his imagination free rein when it came to designing one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by his native city. Many Valencians admit to having visited the arts and science city scores of times without ever having bought an entrance ticket to any of its four star turns: the "Hemesferic", Planetarium, the Principe Felipe Science Museum, the Oceanarium and the Reina Sofia Arts Palace. Valencia's City of Arts and Science - The Hemesferic The Hemesferic was the first building to be completed in 1998 - an extraordinary Calatrava creation resembling a huge eyeball floating above a pool of water. The eye even blinks with the aid of a steel and glass shutter operated by hydraulic lifts. When you've finished drinking in the impossibility of the building's architecture it's well worth taking in a show at the Hemesferic's planetarium or Imax theatre. The centerpiece of the whole complex is the equally awesome science museum which opened alongside the Hemesferic in 2000. Some people reckon it looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton from the outside whilst others see it as the spine of some huge, prehistoric fish. And certainly for many visitors the building itself is the star exhibit despite the many fascinating hands-on science displays contained within it. Children love the fact that the museum is a far cry from those fusty halls of hallowed ancient artifacts with show cases bedecked with "do | |

The apartments also have a free telephone connection for incoming, and local and national outgoing calls. The 2 luxury bathrooms both have a bath with a shower, a toilet, bidet and marble wash stand. When you leave the apartment you walk into a beautiful park that lets you enter a futuristic new world: You have the Corte Inglés (8 floor convenience store like Harrod's, with a supermarket in the basement), coffee bars, restaurants and tapas places just feet away and recently a 5 story shopping mall was opened behind the Corte Inglés, where you will find everything, from a supermarket to a-la-carte restaurants. A short walk through the beautiful park will take you to another large shopping mall with two floors of shops and the top floor with restaurants and bars. |
