Valencia - a Lonely Planet top 10 destination for 2011

The Lonely Planet's list of the top 10 cities to visit in 2011 includes one of Spain's often passed-over cities: Valencia. Spain's third largest city (behind Madrid and Barcelona) has long suffered the ignominy of being overlooked as a tourist site, due to the plethora of other sites. But in recent years the city has made great strides in catching up with its more famous neighbors. From Paella to Formula 1 racing, sprawling parks and gardens to the ultra-modern Ciutat de Arts i Ciencies, it has something for you. And with the AVE connection from Madrid (starting in December 2010) it's less than 2 hours away!
