FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now! Valencia - Location:  Valencia is located on Spain's eastern Mediterranean coast, on the Gulf of Valencia at the mouth of the Turia river. Throughout history, Valencia was one of the most important sea ports of the Iberian peninsula. Valencia is 350 km from either Madrid to the west or Barcelona, to the north. Valencia Population:  Valencia's population is estimated at around 790,000 people. Languages of Valencia:  Residents of Valencia speak Spanish, of course, but you'll also hear "Valenciano" when you're touring the neighborhoods. Valencia Train Stations:  The Norte Railway Station of Valencia is located in the heart of Valencia. Daily connections to Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Alicante, Port Bou (French border), Zaragoza, Bilbao and trains to other provinces leave from here. For more information and train schedules see RENFE , the Spanish Railway Service. Valencia Weather:  Valencia is dominated by a Mediterranean climate, meaning there are warm and dry summers with relatively mild winters. The rainy season comes primarily in spring and fall, when there are occasional torrential rainfalls. The average July and August temperatures are 25 degrees Centigrade. For a Valencia weather forecast, see Valencia, Spain Forecast: Weather Underground . Las Fallas - Valencia's Most Famous Festival:   Las Fallas is a festival held from March 12th to March 19th. What are Las Fallas? Huge papier-mache art sculptures are erected on almost every square. Usually there are around 300 of these, and most are indicative of social criticism and sarcasm. Then, on March 19th the Fallas are simultaneously burned at midnight in a ritual called " la nit del foc " Fiona Honor Hurley has written a wonderful description of Las Fallas for Boots and All, called The Fires of Spring . Valencia - The Covered Market:  Fans of covered markets will want to head over to Valencia's huge central market, al Mercado Central de Valencia , for a fix. You'll find 8000 square meters of market space inside the steel and glass building decorated with Valencian ceramic tiles. Nearby is the Llotja de a Seda , the Silk Exchange, in Placa del Mercat--a testament to Valencia's lofty position in the silk trade. Shopping in Valencia: Handicrafts:  What to look for in Valencia markets? Ceramics is one of the big hits, and anything crafted in wood or vegetable fibers is a good bet, as Valencia is in a very green zone. Rice is one of the big foodstuffs tourists might buy if they don't mind lugging a few kilos of rice around Europe for that next big paella. City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia, Spain:  The 87-acre site contains Hemispheric , housing a planetarium and imax theater, the Trojan helmet like Palau de les Artes and the hands-on Prince Felipe Museum of the Sciences ( Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe) , where you are encouraged to build and discover elements of science. There's also L'Oceanogràfic , called the largest aquarium in Europe, housing species in pavilions named after their home oceans and seas. A covered garden view promenade called Umbracle brings it all together. Attractions in Valencia:  Valencia is a city of art and history. There are lots of museums to visit. Here is a list of the most frequented: Bulfight Art Museum - right by the train station at C. Dr. Serra 16, the first museum in the world devoted to bullfighting. El Museo de Bellas Artas de Valencia - The fine arts museum is second only to Madrid's Prado. Lots of works from Valencia's golden age around the 15th century. Museum of Science "Principe Felipe" at 5 Avenida Autopista de El Saler 46013, an interactive museum inside the City of Arts and Science with exhibitions about science and technology. Valencian Institute of Modern Art - One of the best modern museums in Spain--plus the ancient walls cut right through it. For other interesting museums, see Museums in Valencia from Valencia Online. Valencia's Botanic Gardens , Jardi Botanic , are the oldest in the city and one of the more interesting in Europe, containing over 40,000 plants. Valencia's Cathedral was started in the 13th century, finished in the 15th. Although primarily gothic, it contains a mix of styles reflecting aspects of romanesque, gothic and baroque construction. There are guided tours from 4-7pm for a small charge. The Cathedral Museum, Museu de la Seo , is a little museum chock full of amazing treasures collected by the church. Find more interesting Valencia attractions in Valencia Online's Interesting places . Nighlife - Bohemians head over to the Barrio del Carmen , the "real" old town of Valencia with winding and narrow streets, the houses now teeming with restaurants, bars and clubs. In the summer the action moves over to the pubs and hangouts in the beach zone, along the Neptuno Avenue. Folks head out around 11, or earlier if tapas is required before your long night out. This is Spain, so you can't eat earlier than 9 or so unless it's tapas.        Topic Index | Email to a Friend Our Story | Be a Guide | Advertising Info | Work at About | Site Map | Icons | Help User Agreement | Ethics Policy | Patent Info. | Privacy Policy | Kids' Privacy Policy ©2005 About, Inc., A part of the New York Times Company .

Ski vacation with heavy

Utah Ski Vacations Utah Ski Vacations Utah Vacationers Last week I took some time off to re-visit many fine resorts in Utah and the incredible snow its mountains had to offer. With early storms, the snow is nearly perfect. Fluffy, white powder covers each hill and crevice. But being back at Sundance really reminded me of how magnificent the sliding is in Utah. The snow wasn't the only perfect aspect of Utah, but the weather was as well. With over 2 feet of fresh powder, Utah was the ideal place to ski or slide, and it still is. Many resorts are already open. The snow season is here. Experience a great Ski vacation with heavy early snowfall in Utah’s Skier Vacations Paradise by visiting Sundance. Sundance opens December 10th, 2004. Spend the holidays in Utah, sliding and skiing away in the Wasatch Mountains. If you can’t get away for the holidays don’t fret as March and April are considered to be the peak months to enjoy the winter snow offered at the Utah Mountains. Another Utah vacation bonus besides great sunny weather and loads of fresh powder is the lack of lift lines experienced at various resorts throughout the country. No one wants to spend their Utah Vacation standing in line. Sundance has no line even during the busiest days. Most visitors are amazed at the quality, quantity of fresh powdery snow to ski or board during their Utah Vacations. Now its time for you to get out to Utah and enjoy its mountains, have some fun in the sun and snow, and go on your own Utah vacation. The powder is pilling up and the sun is still shinning- with the occasional cloud taking over the crystal blue skies. Utah skiing and boarding weather is great so make sure to bring your sun block before heading out and wear those hats and glasses! Enjoy your Utah Vacation to Sundance. “South of Salt Lake is the casually elegant community of Sundance. The resort was created in 1969 within the locale of a 6,000-acre village devoted to artistic experimentation and environmental conservation. Under the direction of the resort’s owner, Robert Redford, Sundance is an experience for the senses. Guests can ski and enjoy 41 runs on 450 acres, take an art class in the Artisan Center , cross-country ski by lamplight, eat lunch in the cozy Foundry Grill , enjoy a candlelight dinner at the award-winning Tree Room , or belly up to the bar that once was shot up by the original “Hole in the Wall gang” in the Owl Bar .” www.skiutah.com Utah Vacation Utah Vacation Utah Ski Vacation Utah Ski Vacations Utah Snowboarding Vacations Utah Vacation Stay 3 Ski Free Romantic Weekend Getaway Check out our LiftPrices » Day pass » Season Passes Take a SkiLesson » Adults » Kids » PerformanceSki Labs Rent Equipment View the Stats View the Image Gallery View our Ski Lodging » LodgingOverview » Promotions » Experiences& Packages Book Your Trip | Hot Deals | Calendar | Contact | Site Map | Weather | Search 1-800-892-1600

Visiting Russia Russian Visas : All foreign nationals are required to have entry visas to travel to the Russian Federation. You can easily obtain your entry visas for Russia and the CIS online, from the comfort of your own home. If you are transiting through Moscow Sheremetyevo airport, you may also purchase a visa at the airport, to visit Red Square and The Kremlim while you wait for your connecting flight. And believe me, there can be some very long waits. If you're staying in Russia for more than 3 days, you'll need to register your visa through your hotel or sponsor. For those travelling to a number of Russian cities, all points of entry and all itinerary stops in Russia need to be printed on the visa. It's also a good idea to make photocopies of your passport and visa and carry them with you at all times.

The HIV certificate needs to be in Russian and English and valid for 3 months from the date of medical examination.

The Urals The Ural Mountains are stuffed with gems and precious stones. You can buy fantastic handmade jewellery and souvenirs in Ekaterinberg: malachite, garnet, turquoise and jasper made into colourful, sparkling rings, necklaces, key chains and jewellery boxes. About Ekaterinburg : Ekaterinburg is the third largest Russian city, administrative centre of Sverdlovsk oblast and the capital of the Urals. Ekaterinburg History : Ekaterinburg (Yekaterinburg), the capital city of the Urals, was founded in 1723 by Tzar Peter the Great (and named after his wife, Catherine).
