Valencia the old and new.

These new modern structures besides housing science and art, are also matched to our senses. Music hearing, art seeing, flowers on the long bridge smell/seeing and science a combination of all. Visually stunning and remarkable in the meaning of this park.

The 2nd pic is one of the remaining original entrances into what once was a totally walled in city. This gate is the main entrance to Plaza del Mercado, one of the oldest markets in Europe. At one time there were 15 gates into the city but only two survive. In 1871 the walls and gates were destroyed to make a ring road and open up the the city. Progress?

Valencia is an active city, everyone is out enjoying the beautiful weather and staying in shape. This is also a city filled with universities and tons of culture.
