August 19th, 2009 Iberian Peninsula
There are three countries that take up the Iberian peninsula. Andorra, Gibraltar, Portugal, Spain and a small piece of France. The Mediterranean Sea is the south eastern border the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The Pyrenees Mountains to the north and east form the border with France. The vast majority of the Iberian Peninsula is occupied by the country of Spain. The name comes from the Greek and stuck through the Romans, Moors and up to modern times. Many beautiful places to go there on the peninsula. Valencia the capital and most populated city in the Autonomous Community of Valencia has beautiful 5 star hotels Valencia. Spain is divided into 17 autonomous regions. The government of the region is responsible for the schools, universities, health, social services, culture, urban and rural development and sometimes policies. Valencia is rich in architecture baroque and Victorian abound. This city abounds with the arts and sciences here the large avant-garde futuristic museum complex has been built. Here there is abundant modern side by side with the classical Beautiful sunrises can be viewed over the harbor getting a relaxing start to the day. An enjoyable breakfast and cup of coffee to wake up is always nice. The days are nice and warm in the summer, for some down right hot. But I like the heat and the evenings cool and comfortable with the winds off the sea. Ever eternal and always popular returning to Valencia is a must, over and over again. Down by the river Turia is the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciencies. A vast and modern building complex housing art and science exhibits. This place is big and a must see. The whimsy of the architecture and its play fullness is sure to make you smile. Many other buildings of modern note are in Valencia the opera house and bridges to name a few.
