My companion is impressed by the transport system.  

The Valenbisi service consists of nearly 3,000 bicycles distributed around 275 stations and set up all over the city. Users hire a bicycle from any of the stations and return it to any other of the 275 available.  The cycle lanes are extensive and look very safe. We prefer to walk until we are tired and then try out the metro, tram or bus.  All are comfortable to use and well integrated.  
We intend to enjoy our fair share of real beers.  I cannot do them justice but do follow this link for more information.  http://beereurope.blogspot.co.uk/ 

We always check out the markets and Valencia does not disappoint us.

The Mercado Central is a wonderful early 20th century building, in true Valencian style.  

The city has many modernista buildings.

La iglesia y torre of Santa Catalina is one of Valencia's landmarks.  It's a beautiful building in the Carmen district.  It's also one of the oldest in the city, dating from the 14th century, though the tower was added in the 18th century.
