How about this for a venue then? Book your tivckets for next year because this is just one amazing place. They drained a lake to make the arenas!

horsewalk

What do you think of that then? the buildings around the arena are the City of Arts and Sciences, one of valencia's biggest attractions and its most noteworthy landmark.

I have fond memories of Valencia, we did several business trips there, the produce market is amazing..
Shortly after the last one we got investigated by the taxman, and my husband was being interviewed.
He was asked if I had accompanied him on his last business trip and he denied it (I had of course).
As an example of just how deeply they delve into your finances their next question was "In that case, how did your wife manage to have lunch paying with her credit card on that date in a Valencia cafe?"
He caved in and owned up!
So mixed memories...
