A welcome retreat from the bustle of the city. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon walking around the botanical gardens, taking pictures. It's home to thousands of species of plants and nearly as many cats.

This funny design objects store is located in Ruzafa, next to the “Estación del Norte” train station. It’s interior design belongs to Masquespacio, and it invites the visitors to join a pop universe inspired by the 80’s Memphis geometric aesthetics. It’s main claim are original valencian design souvenirs, that try to run away from the typical random travel gifts. Gnomo is the right store for those who want to get a nice and original gift from Valencia. You will find jewelry, postcards, illustrations, paper craft and decor.

Ubik is half cafeteria and half bookstore. It’s a very cozy place, perfect for gathering around with friends, having an artisan beer or read one of the books from it’s shelves. Ubik is a multicultural point where gastronomy, literature, expositions and sometimes live music get thogether. It’s cheap and in it’s menu you’ll always find fresh products brought to you straight form the Ruzafa market.

Really cool & nice Oyster Bar. Yes, Enjoy best Oysters without the posh flair.

On of my favorite places of Valencia, don't forget to visit their garden!
