As part of the holiday I mentioned earlier, Valencia has a number of special programs and events to celebrate it.
Generalitat Valenciana is Valencian for--roughly--the Valencian Community and its executive office is in (of course) Valencia in the
Borja Palace. You've seen a picture of this from the outside earlier (and from our trip in January), but it's usually closed. One of the special events is free entry to the palace--and you know I was planning for that. Some pictures:
Interior staircase
Golden room--where visitors wait
Panoramic view of the Sala Nova
"Deputies of the Royal Towns," by Vicente Mestre
Conference Room
That's it for the tour--there weren't a lot of rooms, and while I'm sure there were more in the huge palace, those were probably offices and workplaces. Also, I did this while Fe was at the dentist so I hurried back. I think she's almost done with that now--at least we're hoping so.
