Phot.Valencia.Plaza.Redonda.01.101022.8115.jpg

Spain, Valencia, Plaza Redonda, traditionally known as "el clot", the hole. This unusual work by Salvador Escrig Melchor from the 19th century is a small (round) square with traditional market stalls, some open to the central & other ring-facing houses, located in the Historic Centre. Its lower floor occupied by shops selling all kinds of items. There is an outdoor market on Sunday mornings. The squares ring shaped building is topped by three further floors with wrought iron railings & single balconies. The fountain in the centre is from 1850.

 

Valencia is Spain's third largest metropolitan area, founded as a Roman colony in 138 BC., situated on the banks of the river Turia.

The historic centre is one of the largest in Spain, this heritage of ancient monuments, views & cultural attractions makes Valencia one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.

“Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències”, the City of Arts & Sciences, situated at the end of the former riverbed of the river Turia is an amazing architectonical complex for art, science & leisure time, one of the many must to visit when you come to the this city.

 

Valencia is famous for its gastronomic culture; one of the famous dishes from Valencia is the paella. However, it is not easy to find a Restaurant, which prepares a good paella, but with the help from friends in Valencia one find the right place, unfortunately some places serve a paella that taste like right out of the microwave, …well, careless "touri-food".

 

The top quality of rice not only for the paella is “Arroz Bomba” the rice is from the region of Valencia which produce & is recognized for the best quality rice in Spain.
