"The ancient port city of València, on Spain’s southeast coast, seamlessly integrates its innovative urban landscape with its natural one.

The Mediterranean is the city’s muse, evident in the innovative, water-laced City of Arts and Sciences. The latest addition to the cultural complex, CaixaForum, opened its doors in June with three exhibitions, including “Faraón. Rey de Egipto,” which features ancient Egyptian artifacts on loan from the British Museum."
