On a extended weekend in November we went by train to Valencia which took us 3 hours. The city has a nice center with quiet streets and interesting monuments to visit as the cathedral, the central market, la lonja (commodity exchange), churches and many nice buildings. Very new and modern is the "Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias" (city of arts and science), constructed by Santiago Calatrava. There's an interesting sience museum to visit and the famous aquarium of Valencia, the biggest one in Europe. The weather was sunny and quite warm for this season, so we could enjoy our stay there.
