EUROPE'S largest Ferris wheel is open in Valencia until May 3 this year, giving visitors a panoramic view of the city and beyond.
From the top of the wheel, the view spans a 30-kilometre radius.
Bigger than the London Eye, with 42 sealed cabins fitted with heating and air-conditioning and space for eight people in each - all adapted for wheelchair-users - the Ferris wheel allows those who ride it to look down on the Valencia Boat Show between April 16 and 19, the Regional Cruise Championships, and the Holi Run marathon, which normally brings in about 10,000 competitors.
Unfortunately, the 'Valencia Eye' will have been taken down before the 52 Superseries, one of the world's biggest yachting regattas which is being held in Valencia's America's Cup port this year.
The big wheel is set up in the Juan Carlos I Royal Marina, next to the Veles e Vents building in what was the America's Cup complex in 2007.
A ride on it costs €7 for adults and €5 for children of up to 3'11" (1.2m) in height.
