Artistic Science - Daybreak along the Spanish eastern coast, just before the crowds arrive. The morning sun painting the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias' otherworldly architecture in soft, glowing tones. These mesmerizing, somewhat alien buildings constitute Valencia's main tourist attraction and are designed by city native and world-renowned architect Santiago Calatrava. The cultural complex is located in the old dried riverbed of the rerouted Turia river. The approach for RW30 at Valencia Manises airport (VLC/LEVC) takes us right abeam the city centre.
