We farewell Daisy, our
host, today on this rainy day in Barcelona.
Really enjoyed our stay with her - she was most welcoming and shared her
lovely apartment with us. On our 3-hour drive to Valencia, we were impressed
with the Highways, however, the toll fees the Spanish charge for the pleasure
of driving on their roads is extravagant! Will never complain about tolls in Australia. We got to Valencia around early
afternoon and after checking in to our hotel, went off to explore this
beautiful port city in the south of Spain (the third largest city in Spain).
Weather was overcast and a really cold wind was blowing right through us. Glad
we had our puffer jackets and scarves with us! We took the fantastic public transport to explore the old town
with its many magnificent buildings, cathedrals, monuments and parks.
It’s also
a cyclist’s paradise as the infrastructure is fantastic and the landscape very
flat. The evening was completed with a visit to the seaside area in a tram to
have a “Seafood Paella”. We are led to understand that Paella originated in
Valencia. It didn’t disappoint. Once again, the local are friendly, warm and
very helpful. All in all, another lovely day.
