Valencia is the third largest city in all of Spain. This means that at times, although the city has no where near as much hustle and bustle as Madrid or Barcelona, you can start to feel small. And fittingly, the Spanish solution to this is going up, up, up until you are bigger than the buildings and find yourself on a rooftop bar.
