You could spend several days exploring the futuristic buildings of the City of Arts and Sciences, the beach is stunning with miles of golden sand and who wouldn\u2019t enjoy the simple pleasure of enjoying a coffee as you watch the world go by in the sunny Plaza de la Virgen.<\/p>\n<p>What you may not be so familiar with is Valencia\u2019s amazing zoo.\u00a0 This zoological wonder was opened in 2008, and is built in the gardens created from the bed of the old River Turia.<\/p>\n<p>To simply call this attraction a zoo is really an unfair description, and in my opinion, doesn\u2019t do justice to the either the animal or visitor experience. The \u2018zoo\u2019 is in fact a state of the art \u2018bioparc\u2019, advertised as being the most advanced in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"pic-box size-full wp-image-470 alignleft\"  title=\"Valencia - View from caf\u00e9 in zoo\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/valencia-zoo2.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/>Landscapes from the Savannah, Madagascar and Equitorial Africa have been recreated, with the only barrier between you and an elephant or chimpanzee being a stream, or boulder. This clever design gives the appearance of allowing the animals to roam freely, while visitors enjoy the animals without cages.<\/p>\n<p>I promise that this is the best view you could ever have of some of Africa\u2019s wildest animals! I particularly loved the caf\u00e9 where you can sit with giraffes, antelopes and rhinos just a few meters away, separated from you only by a short stretch of water.<\/p>\n<p>The Bioparc is one of my favourite places to visit in Valencia, but don\u2019t just take my word for it, go and visit yourself! You can reach the zoo easily from the city centre by bus or metro, but I prefer the walk through the Turia Gardens, two of Valencia\u2019s highlights in one day!<\/p>\n<p>Apple Languages offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/en\/learn\/spanish\/spain\/valencia.php\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Spanish courses in Valencia<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Phillippa<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone familiar with Valencia will know that the city has some amazing attractions.
