Spain/Valencia: Valencia – City of Arts

With sufficient amount of alcohol in your system, you would come to an absolutely certain conclusion that a massive alien ship has landed in this futuristic part of outer Valencia – Cuidad des las Artes. A 2km-long complex has a stunning collection of avant-gard tomorrow’s architecture by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. The most impressive are the Reina Sofía opera house (that’s the spaceship), and the Hemispheric. The place best seen at dusk as the lights come on and the moon rises.
