Valencia: the city

Difficult to say something about the (inner) city in general. 

What would be the city Centre? 

The market - for me that’s just about the centre of the Universe so yes, the centre of Valencia as well -  or the square with the Cathedral (huge on the outside, a bit unassuming on the inside)? 

The square with the Local Government, or the Bullfight Arena with the Central Station next to it?

Valencia doesn’t have a specific centre. Not, like many other Sapanish cities, a medieval centre. 

No very small streets with cute, half timbered houses. That is, we haven’t seen one. 

The general impression is: a spacious city, broad streets and avenues, houses built a century ago when that part of the city was rich and quite some buildings from the 70’s and later, rather ugly concrete office blocks. It lacks the cosyness of, say, San Sebastián, with it’s clearly defined ‘old quarter’. 

But it’s airy and breezy, light and bright, no complaints here. 

An impression.
