I stayed a weekend in Valencia in mid December. Valencia is a great city I can strongly recommend for weekend trip: great old town, world-class buildings in the new "City of Arts and Sciences", Amercia's Cup harbor, nice sea-front
One of the main attractions is the 9k long old river bed which has been converted to a giant sportsground, park, cultural area etc. (as seen from the balcony of the Palacio de las Artes Reina Sofia
Palau de la Música in the old river bed
One of the many ancient bridges over the old river bed
View over the old town of Valencia from the Miguelete Tower
Bullfight arena and station at the border of the old town
Partial view of a giant crib in the Cathedral
Palacio del Marqués de dos Aguas

Never to be forgotten: Valencia is the city of oranges
