Other conferences attended: Attended two courses in Cinema history and Aesthetics at the University of Valencia during the academic year as a part of an unfinished two-year degree in cinema, radio and television. M , Sala Rialto, Valencia. Inevitably, for us Brits, the city compares with Barcelona, its better-known neighbour up the Mediterranean coast, which, to stretch a metaphor, is perhaps more canine: harder working, louder and more attention-seeking.
Until recently, for the arbiters of travel, Valencia has been the less noteworthy of these two Spanish ports. Its gentler pace may stem from the surrounding agriculture, especially its renowned orange groves and the rice paddies that explain the local speciality, paella.
Cruising in Valencia, Spain
An exception to this, when Valencian flamboyance does reveal itself, has always been during the city's pyrotechnic and sleepless Fallas carnival in mid-March, in honour of Jesus's father, Joseph. To an artillery of fireworks, huge satirical figures are paraded before wild crowds, finally ending up on Europe's largest bonfire. Beyond the tradition of Fallas, there is an ample weight of history in what was once capital of a separate Kingdom of Valencia. Founded by pensioned-off Roman legionaries, it is marked by seven centuries of relatively easy cohabitation by Muslims and Christians.
Though the cathedral now sits firmly where the city's main mosque once was, there still seems a reassuring attitude of live and let live. It's one that Franco's men weren't able to extinguish when this, the last capital of the Republicans, fell to the fascists at the end of the Spanish civil war. In the Old Town, you can see mullet-haired skateboarders, scuttling nuns, transvestites and the slowly growing numbers of foreigners all putting this consensual approach into practice.
The warmth and light, ubiquitous orange blossoms and miles of palmed beach must all assist Valencians to get on so well.

But now, for the first time in centuries, Valencia's history is being matched by a brisk transformation that is now under way, for Spain's third largest city. Being invited to stage the America's Cup yacht race - on behalf of land-locked Switzerland, the current holders of the cup - is the most obvious sign of this: the event is expected to pull in two million visitors between later this year and But the futuristic, curvilinear creations of the local architect Santiago Calatrava will be the more lasting monument. Walk what was the course of Valencia's river, the Turia, to the most prominent of these, known as the City of Arts and Sciences.
To avoid flooding, the Turia was boldly diverted and the riverbed has now been converted into a meandering park.
…life is elsewhere
With plenty more Calatrava works commissioned, this restored municipal self-confidence will make for a different city within a few years. More cosmopolitan, still more beautiful, wealthier - but undoubtedly a lot will be lost along the way too. For the moment, amble through the El Carmen district's alleys of honey-coloured stone, winding between churches, but like the narrow streets of an Arab souk. Find a shady spot to sip the refreshing local tiger nut drink horchata, or something stronger, contemplate the evening's entertainment and enjoy Valencia's ease while it lasts.
Antigua Morellana , Calle En Bou 2 00 34 96 ; hostalam. This room hotel, in a converted building from the s, is good value, with friendly staff and a great location - just by the Mercado Central. There's no breakfast here, but there is across the road at Café Lisbon, where you can eat in the shade of a venerable olive tree.
The city is well served in this bracket. The room Ad Hoc , Calle Boix 4 00 34 96 ; adhochoteles. Palau de la Mar, Avenida Navarro Reverter 14 00 34 96 ; epoquehotels. This hotel is made up of two adjoining 19th-century mansions, impeccably remodelled, with 66 rooms, a gym, pool and library. It stands by an elegant stretch of the Turia riverbed park. My favourite dishes are riñones kidneys , pimientos del padrón tiny green peppers and setas wild mushrooms , but there are 30 or more other choices.
For Basque food, washed down by their own cider, head to Sagardi 'orchard' , Calle San Vicente Martir 6 00 34 96 Paella at the beach is a treat, but is more likely to blow your waistband than your budget.

The fish selection is excellent. Valencia's strong suit is its markets. The thousand-odd stalls of the temple to Art Deco that is the Mercado Central are a must for fresh food. Plaza Redondo 's traders offer animals on Saturday and birds on Sunday, with Senegalese and Ecuadorian stall-holders showing the changing face of Spain. There's a big flea market at Plaza Luís Casanova , also on Sundays.

For those drawn to department stores, Spain's newest and largest Corte Ingles has arisen by the City of Arts and Sciences. Wander the central El Carmen area's shops, to check out the new wave of hip youth apparel and accessories such as Bacilococo on Calle de la Purísima, or Monki on Calle Calatrava , and to help support the older wave of antiquarian booksellers, taxidermists and various other endangered retailer species.
In El Carmen, start your evening amid the splendour and classical music of Las Horas , Calle Conde de Almodovar 1 00 34 96 , or in summer out on the terrace of laid-back Sol i Lluna 24 , Calle del Mar 29 00 34 96 Stop at Café Negrito , Plaza del Negrito 00 34 96 , again taking your drink outside into the square if it's summer.
Then try bar-lined Calle Caballeros. At the beach, Vivir Sin Dormir 'Live without sleeping' , Paseo Neptuno 42 00 34 96 is a legendary institution, if a little past its peak, with a large interior and terrace fronting the sea.
