Joan Fuster is the main figure of 20th century Catalan essay writing.
He is popularly known by his work ‘Nosaltres, els valencians’ [Us, the Valencian], 1962, although he is the author of an extensive work, which contributed to consolidate Catalan-based Valencianism and his idea of the ‘Catalan country’. Joan Fuster i Ortells was born in Sueca on 23 November 1922 and died in the same town on 21 June 1992. From his father’s side, he came from a family of Carlinian tradition who, from 1939 was linked to the Franco dictatorship in the Sueca town council. Fuster used to be ironical about this family legacy, to such an extent that he stated that Carlism was, in fact, ‘right-wing anarchism’. In any case, his early identity concerns are not entirely alien to the question of Valencian laws, for example.
The convulsive years of intellectual maturity transformed him, possibly slightly against his will, into a truly controversial man. Boutique hotels Spain | SH Hotel Boutique Inglés Valencia. VALENCIA.

Valencia Travel Information and Travel Guide - Spain. Valencia, Spain’s third-largest city, for ages languished in the long shadows cast by Madrid, Spain’s political capital, and Barcelona, the country’s cultural and economic powerhouse. No longer. Stunning public buildings have changed the city’s skyline – Sir Norman Foster’s Palacio de Congresos, David Chipperfield’s award-winning Veles i Vents structure beside the inner port, and, on the grandest scale of all, the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencas, designed in the main by Santiago Calatrava, local boy made good. An increasingly popular short-break venue, Valencia is where paella first simmered over a wood fire.
It’s a vibrant, friendly, mildly chaotic place with two outstanding fine-arts museums, an accessible old quarter, Europe’s newest cultural and scientific complex – and one of Spain’s most exciting nightlife scenes.

How you wake up can set the tone for your day: my alarm call was a chorus of cats, perhaps eyeing the caged birds of the nearby Plaza Redondo market.
And gradually, Valencia did reveal feline qualities: seductive grace, languor during the hot afternoons and willingness to pass the night-time out on the tiles. Inevitably, for us Brits, the city compares with Barcelona, its better-known neighbour up the Mediterranean coast, which, to stretch a metaphor, is perhaps more canine: harder working, louder and more attention-seeking. Until recently, for the arbiters of travel, Valencia has been the less noteworthy of these two Spanish ports. Its gentler pace may stem from the surrounding agriculture, especially its renowned orange groves and the rice paddies that explain the local speciality, paella.
An exception to this, when Valencian flamboyance does reveal itself, has always been during the city's pyrotechnic and sleepless Fallas carnival in mid-March, in honour of Jesus's father, Joseph.
