Spain's undiscovered Mediterranean

Article Abstract:

The city of Valencia, Spain, full of ornate 10-story buildings, with rounded corners and streets that intersect in shaded, octagon-shaped plazas, celebrates its own traditions, speaks its own language and revels in its own sports and festivals. This quiet city on the Mediterranean coast is however slowly finding a new energy in the 21st century with revolutionary architecture, fine wine and cutting-edge cuisine.
