Description:

Valencia Harbour overview. Nov.22, 1979
Taken just minutes after our docking from the starb. bridge wing.
All the area shown its almost gone because in 36 years Valencia Port its totally different and huge in size compared with this shot. You can see a partial view of our cargo waiting to be loaded at the bottom of the shot...Ford Fiesta cars directly from the local Ford factory.
Photo scanned from an old 35mms.

Hi Antonio. It is a pleasure that you enjoy this couple of old scanned shots taken long time ago (almost 36 years back) of your Valencia city port. Yes, a lot of things changed or are not there anymore. Time pass...
Thanks for your kind comments again.
MBregards from Tenerife.

PS. The small nice seafood restaurant at the begining of Muelle de Poniente East side its still there ??

A memory for all my eyes, those past years when you could visit the harbor and watch the boats were coming in that you and I could read also came Jadran.
A greeting to the two Ventuari and Jadran.

Hi Jadran. Valencia indeed its a nice and beautiful city and the port its totally different than before. My first time there was in 1977 and later in 1979. Even before upload the couple of scanned shots from Nov.1979 I went to Google Earth to see the exact location and compare the shot and... its not there anymore...Everything changed.
Now the old Valencia port its gone and you have a modern megaport. Really huge.
Here its the link to the shot with the cargo loaded at Valencia and ready to leave:

Hi ventuari,, thank you for posting this photograph,, I much appreciate the photograph and the captured scene !

I visited Valencia once in summer 1968 when sailing on the general cargo ship GORAN KOVACIC (IMO 6711106).

I don't remember very well,, the layout & look, being of that time, of port of Valencia anymore,, but I still remember very well that Valencia is indeed a wonderful-wonderful & very beautiful-beautiful city (that was my first & ever-lasting impression that I brought with me all the way up till today) !

Kind regards from Rijeka and Croatia,
Jadran
