WHERE'S WENDY? Round 4, Take 2

Travel blogger Wendy Perrin keeps them guessing as she spots a balloon high above the SuperYacht Marina at Port America's Cup.
The SuperYacht Marina at Port America's Cup.  Note the balloon in the distance. How fun would that be?

Hey Kiwiwriter, you didn't wake up too late!  You say that Tracker and Lori "seem to have listed every possible name for the white building" . . . except that they haven't.   Nobody has correctly given the name of the clock-tower building as written (in Spanish) on its facade.  Just in case there's any confusion, I'm talking about the sea-facing facade: the one that was behind me when I shot the photo above.

Tracker, you're right:  Valencia is a really cool city.  I only wish I had more time here.  Gotta keep moving, or you guys might get bored.  Lori, I promise: No more building names!  And Kiwiwriter, just for you I'll wait till tomorrow evening (my time) to post the next clue. (And yes, I'm up waaaaay too late... and I'm not even partying with racers or doing a tapas pub crawl. I'm furiously writing my September issue Perrin Report!)

I swear it says in gold letters on that side of the building (the side facing the harbor) "Puerto Autonomo de Valencia"

Hmm, if it's not that then perhaps they changed it for the new, spiffy marina, like they apparently changed the name of the harbor.

Hehe...I may not be able to find the name of the building but I know where you are, quite literally (yes, I was a little bored). I've marked on the linked map below where you took your pictures from today.

1. is the initial picture looking down the walkway with all the banners.
2. is the picture with the people on the funny Segways.
3. is the picture you took looking out into the port.
