Why Are My Feet Swelling Everyday

Ciudad de las artes y las ciencias, Valencia Part 1


So here we are ready for our trip to the Museum. Today we head to Spain, particularly Valencia.

personally have not been in this city, but I visited Barcelona (not misspelled ... it is written in English!) and if that I've read and seen in the different sites that speak of the city does not deceive me, I think they can breathe the same atmosphere. Joy and happiness together with a scent of culture that permeates the skin, stinging the nostrils almost as strong, but that captivates you and makes you want to want again and again.
There are many routes that you can choose to enjoy Valencia: the way the traditional religious or historical monuments or the futuristic-label.
Well we choose the latter, with particular reference to the Museum of Science and Arts, or rather the City of Sciences and Arts

Yes because it is a citadel, located south of Valencia, with a precise structure. Here below you see the map.

Map of the City of Arts and Sciences

The entire complex is part of a project that the Valencian government wanted to rehabilitate an area in the southern suburbs of the city and took more than 10 years of its implementation.

La Ciudad deserve explanation from the point of view of art and architecture, as its creators, Santiago Calatrava and Felix Candela, artists are beloved by mathematicians. And to appreciate all the stylistic qualities it would take a whole day! But even a visit to the Museum takes a long time ...

Only a few number have a vague idea of \u200b\u200bwhere we will dive into this: about two kilometers in length extending over an area of \u200b\u200babout 35 hettari, received more than 500 marine species in Ocean Park, the largest in Europe.

The structure consists of five parts, four of which are held high-level international events.

Now you're hit by ' Hemisfèric : reinforced concrete, glass, water combined to give the effect of a giant eye


The Hemispheric, built between 1995 and 1998, is both a planetarium that IMAX theater: two rooms then, a specific projection and astronomy one for other shows.
The plan is elliptical or rather the eye and uniqueness lies in mobile coverage of about 2600m ².

What is projected? During this time you can venture in ' Amazon and follow two shamans in search of medicinal plants, or get carried in Saudi or even embark on a fantastic journey in the land of ' Africa.


Plano The hotel also offers other services such as a restaurant and a bookshop. In addition, there are several combinations for the purchase of tickets (can be bought online ) and the type of access.
And why now, after a good movie we do not a trip to the Museo de las Ciencias Príncipe Felipe?



Covering an area of \u200b\u200b41,530 square meters and a length of 241 meters, this building stands where trees and stylized forms mo 'cage are repeated in an asymmetric fashion to provide access to daylight.
Educational, interactive and fun are the watchwords for exploring the world of science, life and technology.

You are a hardcore fan of Star Trek? Well then you have until February 2011 not to miss the exhibition Star Trek: Welcome aboard . Replicas of the bridge of the Enterprise, models and films of a of the most popular television series.

But if you're still deciding where to spend the Christmas holidays why not take advantage of the proposals for the Navidad?
The hero of the children Sponge-Ball will accompany the discovery of the sea, at the ' Oceanogràfic or if you prefer Gormiti well there too!!


End Part 1!! Tomorrow the rest!
