Thanks Linda, I give all the credit to the designers. A very tough place to leave without getting some good photos 🙂

As I travel I’ve begun to develop a great appreciation for architecture and was surprisingly touched by the City of Arts and Sciences. Seeing it, being there, that steel and concrete somehow evoked an emotional response. I couldn’t help thinking how it incredible that was – wish I could tell Mr. Calatrava myself.

Makes me want to go with a closer eye to see some of the other buildings he’s designed, including the Auditorium in Tenerife I appreciate you mentioning 🙂

I can see you had a grey day, yet still managed to get great shots. Calatrava is a brilliant, internationally renown architect, and I am so happy that you included a link about him. He designed our wonderful Auditorium in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which has lots of echos of the Valencia buildings. It’s his style, flowing, graceful lines. You can see them in the stadium in Athens for the 2004 Olympics. I had no idea that he had designed it, but the moment I saw it I knew it was his design. He is also designing the new Tranportation Hub for the new Trade Center in NY.

The Opera Building is pretty cool – even the seats are made from the leather manufacturer that makes the same for Ferrari 🙂 On the tours they mentioned several times the design was like that of a Roman helmet, though not sure how much of the design was inspired by it.

I know the Moto GP racing is held in Valencia, is it designed on a motorcycle helmet?
