take a look, as this futuristic collection of buildings, the work of Valencian architect <strong>Santiago Calatrava<\/strong>, have become the symbols of the city of Valencia. We really loved it, especially as it&#8217;s on the way to the beach.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, the large ponds all around, with the architecture reflected in them, are a thing of beauty! During our two visits to Valencia we went there once to visit the Oceanografic and a second time to visit the Science Museum.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, you won&#8217;t be able to visit all the museums in a weekend, but we recommend that you at least get out there and cycle or walk around this immense area, crossing the<strong>Umbracle<\/strong>. If you have only one museum to visit, the<strong>Oceanografic<\/strong> is your best bet. It&#8217;s obviously an ideal activity in winter or when it&#8217;s raining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7a8882\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7a8882;\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"8080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pourquoi-pas-nous.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/20211003_140506-scaled-1024x484.webp\" alt=\"valence park  \" class=\"wp-image-8080 not-transparent\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LOceanografic_Europes_largest_aquarium\"><\/span>L&#8217;Oceanogr\u00e0fic: Europe&#8217;s largest aquarium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s Europe&#8217;s largest aquarium, and faithfully recreates different marine habitats.
