VALENCIA
Spain’s third-largest city is a magnificent place. Never afraid to innovate, Valencia diverted its flood-prone river to the outskirts of town and converted the former riverbed into a superb green ribbon of park winding right through the city. On it are the strikingly futuristic buildings of the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencas, designed by local architect Santiago Calatrava.
