We started with a three mile walk down the beautiful Turia Park.
This is the bed of a diverted river that flowed through the city. After years of not being able to decide what to do with all that land, the city noticed that people used it as a park. It was then developed into this beautiful green ribbon that ‘flows’ through the city.
Our goal was to go see the architecture of Calatrava in the City of Arts and Sciences.
The soaring buildings were indeed breathtaking and there is no photo that can give you a sense of the soaring spaces. Truly elevating.
This setting has also been used in a lot of futuristic shows and movies.
Gulliver Park is a playground where there is a giant statue of Gulliver. When kids play on him you see them as Lulliputans. Adorable.
Santiago Calatrava was born July 28, 1951, in Valencia, Spain and is a renowned architect, structural engineer, and sculptor known for futuristic, skeletal designs and soaring, white concrete structures.
