Valencia
Valencia is the most depersonalising big city I`ve spent much time in. I think you could become quite depressed living here.
It`s one of the least inspiring places to make art, despite the sunshine.
There`s a lot of flatness in Valencia. Flatness is very bad for a sense of place. You can feel quite hemmed in by buildings. The seafront is oddly uninspiring and sad and sits some way from the centre.
There are grand and often fantastical structures in the centre: railway stations, a fine food market, and of course the absurd but undoubtedly memorable City of Arts and Sciences building, but most of the city consists of eight storey peach, ream or light yellow blocks going on and on for mile after mile.
