Trip to Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸

It was a trip to Valencia, Spain with friends. During our trip to Valencia, we had an incredible time exploring its rich history, stunning architecture, and picturesque landscapes 📸 Our first stop was the City of Arts and Sciences, an architectural marvel designed by Santiago Calatrava. This futuristic complex is perfect for photography 📸 with its striking white structures and reflective pools. We highly recommend visiting early in the morning or at sunset 🌇 when the lighting is magical, and the crowds are thinner. It’s the ideal spot for getting both wide-angle shots and detailed close-ups of the stunning curves and lines. 📍Av. del Professor López Piñero, 7, 46023 Valencia, Spain We also explored La Lonja de la Seda, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and were captivated by its Gothic architecture and impressive columns. The intricate details in the building’s interior, particularly the main hall with its twisted columns, offer fantastic photo opportunities 📸 We found that the best time for photos is in the early afternoon when sunlight filters through the windows, casting beautiful shadows on the stone floors 😍 📍Carrey de la Llotja, 2, 46001 Valencia, Spain We also wandered through the El Carmen neighborhood, a vibrant mix of medieval and contemporary architecture. Its narrow streets, colorful murals, and charming plazas were perfect for street photography 🙌We especially loved the shot of the Torres de Quart, the historic city gates, framed by the lively surroundings. Visiting in the late morning allowed us to capture the area in soft, diffused light, which made the colors pop ✨ 📍El Carmen, 46003 Valencia, Spain We then headed to the Turia Gardens, a lush green space running through the city where we found an abundance of beautiful landscapes to photograph 📸 We particularly loved the bridges and paths that cross the park, offering stunning views of both nature and urban architecture. The golden hour, just before sunset, was the perfect time to capture this place when the soft light illuminated the trees 🌳 and old bridges. 📍46023 Valencia, Spain For a different side of Valencia, we took a short drive 🚗 to Albufera Natural Park. The park is home to tranquil lakes and wetlands, and we were able to capture serene photos of the sunsets reflecting on the water 💦 If you’re into nature photography, this is a must-visit spot. We visited in the late afternoon, and the golden glow over the lake made for breathtaking photos 📸 We also recommend taking a boat 🚤 ride to get a closer look at the wildlife. 📍Albufera Natural Park, 46012 Valencia, Spain We really enjoy our time at Valencia 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #travel #vacation
