The Bio Centre (Open Zoo)
Walk down the riverbed park to the Science Park, including the "Sea world"
The Food and Veg Market, just for the building
The Lace Market
Serranos Towers
Pop into the Main Post office, lovely building
Plaza de La Virgen
Plaza de la Reina

I would add the railway station - beautifully preserved Art Nouveau interior.
The Fallas Museum isn't free but if I remember rightly only cost 2€ admission and was well worth a visit.

I didn't get to go round the Museo Nacional de Ceramica (so much to see, so little time!) but the building it is housed in is absolutely amazing, it's on my agenda for the next visit. I've googled it and admission costs 2.40€.

The science museum at the arts and sciences is holding the first worldwide rice congress from the 29 september til 2 october.
The focus will be of course paella and there will be 24 chefs displaying their versions of it and the public can sample different ones for 4 euros each.
Free entrance.

The first day of the rice festival was great.If any of you can make it there you will not be disappointed.I had also the best morcilla I have ever tasted-from Burgos.Free arroz al horno.Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch.TV cameras were there too so will probably be on canal nou news.
