The Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (City of the Arts and Sciences) in Valencia is a spectacular creation. The buildings in this imposing leisure and culture centre designed by Santiago Calatrava comprise an avant-garde image which takes us into the 21st century.

First, we visited the "Príncipe Felipe" Science Museum which has a spectacular building that makes up interactive scientific motifs and exhibitions where visitors can touch everything and become protagonists of curious experiments. What we like best is the outerspace simulator whereby you actually get to "explore" the outerspace.

In the evening, we visited the Hemisfèric which shows the very latest Imax films, a planetarium and an innovative laser show. The building is also very impressive.

One our second day, we visited the Oceanogràfic. All the ecosystems of the world with their plant and animal inhabitants, come together in the Oceanogràfic.

The auditoriums in el Palau de les Arts is still under construction. We were being told that it'll offer the best opera performances, concerts and scenic shows in future once its spectacular giant oval-shape design building finished its construction.
