A beautiful garden in the heart of Valencia (near the University). Such a peaceful place to walk…read morearound, sit down, and really take in all the sights and sounds. There are all sorts of tropical plants, desert cacti, and a lot of grounds to explore. Everything seemed to be well maintained. We had plans to visit another day during our trip, but we had just tried checking out a cocktail bar that was unfortunately closed. So this was nearby and we popped over for about an hour or so. It costs a few bucks to enter, which I'm fine paying. It's worth it. Only sad part is we weren't prepared to take too many photos (wife didn't have her camera with her), so hopefully we'll return someday to take more pics. Also wonder if there is a best time of year to visit...

We…read moregot here only 50 minutes before closing, so we had to see it fast, but we would not have missed it for the world. First, the exterior is amazing. Then the interior! Glass and crystal chandeliers. Gorgeous period rooms (carriages on the first floor!) Fabulous paintings- both framed and on the ceilings. Tiles, Vases, Mantel Clocks, Statues, kitchen ware- you name it, you will see it here. If you are familiar with the Decorative Arts Museum and the Romanticismo museum- this is like a combination of those two Madrid museums. It's 5 euros, but free if you have the National Museum Cards for Spain- which can be bought at many of the National Museums of Spain, and which we found to be a good deal, since we love museums. You can take pictures here- but NO flash. We were so happy to be able to take some pictures away to help us remember our experience.

I went for the final 3 days and the finale was slightly longer with launching colorful barrages at the end of aerials.
