Valencia is a wonderful place to find your favorite daydreams, enjoying the view of the sea while contemplating the great ghosts of history. The city has seen an enormous amount of changes and evolutions over the years, as well as many spectacular historic events, like the life of El Cid, the beginning for Columbus, as well as the last victim of the inquisition. The printing press first hit the Iberian peninsula in Valencia, and there’s a number of good authorities who will tell you that the Pope’s mass here in 2006 used the original Holy Grail, the Santo Caliz. This would be the Holy Grail of holy grails. There are many other important events that happened here, and still happen, and when it seems overwhelming, there’s no better escape than to Valencia hotels.
With the Spanish sensibility that embraces the innovative as well as honoring the lessons of the past, accommodations here are most pleasant, and have something splendid for travelers of all ages. There is a magnificent sense of hospitality here that speaks to the heart, and offers a real respite from the city, allowing you the chance to get your bearings and enjoy your time sleeping and eating fine meals before having more adventures in this exquisite city. There are some splendid sounds coming from the local musicians here, and you might come across some fandango or jota players, to get a taste of the traditional in Valencia. But there are many young people who are moving in radically new directions, and some of these experiments have fantastic results.
One of the most exciting acts in town would have to be the alternative rock group, Daze of Dawn. With four albums to their name already, and more to come based on their busy schedules, along with the sense that these guys are not in the least bit tired of each other, many more to come. They started in 2001 when Klyde came from Canada to join Carlos Sanchez and Gonzo to start a band based on an obvious love of 70s arena rock, as well as the sophisticated and rugged styles of 90s grunge. Combine a bit of jazz to the mix, and you have their spectacular sounds that are stunning local audiences, as well as music fans all over the world.
