was there for the easter long weekend.a great spot alright.
make sure you get up to st george´s castle up over the city as it is a great place to get scenic shots of the city.
there are 3 different opentop bus routes the yellow one is the best as it brings you down to the expo area(left of the bridge) but the aquarium is a bit repetetive,oceanografic in valencia is much better

you can get the tram out to the area(right of the bridge) where the monument to the discoveries is which is a mammoth piece of work and definately worth a look,and there is a lot more to see in that area,which i cant think of now.
if ya want the bit of culture head to the fado bars...the women sing like banshees but when yer full of port it sounds great. longboardirl/hang loose.jpg

If you are not already gone make sure you check out the aquarium down on the waterfront! Its fantastic! Had a great time there over a couple of trips. Had a good night watching Benfica play in the Champions league too1
Enjoy
