Museo de Belles Artes
As we were on a museum hype trying to spend our last few days here being cultural, we visited the Fine Arts Museum. (Bellas Artes) I am not very knowledgeable about art, but as it is of the best fine arts museums in Spain, full of historic paintings and renowned for its collections of Valencian painters, I thought it was worth a trip! (plus its free entry!) I particularly enjoyed the rooms dedicated to JoaquĆn Sorolla, a famous Valencian painter who excels in portraits and landscapes. The little courtyard garden is very pretty, and the entrance hall to the building is outstanding. A very impressive building with well organised galleries, and although there is a lot of very religious paintings which I don't know anything about, it is very peaceful and nice to wonder around.
