Korean agents visit Valencia

We recently got the visit from some important Korean agents at the city from Valencia, they started with a visit and wine tasting at Bodegas Gandía.

Some white “Fusta Nova”, then a Bobal red wine and to finish some sweet one …

After this visit … directly to Albufera lake … to start some “Paella cooking show” … the most famous Valencian (and Spanish) dish.

After lunch we should have made a boat trip at Albufera: the biggest lake in Spain …The group wanted to do it …

everybody were ready … but unfortnately it was raining too much …

Do you see the umbrella … yes! that is Valencia Football Club symbol … and that’s where we went … straight ahead to see MESTALLA Football Stadium … for Valencian fans: “El templo del fútbol” … see at the left the future “trainers” from the club!!

Then after a rest … we had the pleasure to visit Opera house: “Palau de les Arts” and see/listen some Opera … which was followed from an amazing flamenco show at one of the best Tablaos in Valencia: “La Buleria”… good music and great food!!

The following day started with a visit to LLADRO Museum, the also called “City of Porcelain” where people can discover how this world-famous figure are made… At the picture you can see how the group had no interest at all …

This piece is over 120.00 EUR.: picture is free!! ;-)

From this sculptures … to others … that will be burnt in a few days (well most of them) … yes! I am talking about FALLAS … we visited the “Ninot Exhibition” … where Korean travel professional got amazed with all the “ninots”.

Obama, Charles Chaplin, Gasol, David Villa and this “ideal woman” where there …

And from there … directly to the amazing “City of Arts and Sciences” (www.cac.es) We visited Palau de les Arts, Science Museum and Aquarium.

Finally, on Sunday it was time for discovering the historic City Centre:

Virgin Square with Cathedral Complex, the place where “Holly Grial” is … then we also entered at “La Lonja“, World Heritage Monument from XV century.

After this visit, we enjoyed a “Mascletà” at the City Hall square (great view from Hotel Las Arenas “Balcon”

After lunch … a SEGWAY Tour along Turia Riverbed (www.culturia.org)

See Korean agents … proud below “SAMSUNG” (Korean company):

Final stop: BIOPARC Valencia … A piece of Africa in Valencia!!

I wonder how many people still think that Valencia can be seen in half day … when 3 days are not enough!!
