Valencia to Barcelon

Just the one night here with a guided walking tour this morning and short visit to view the beach where we had coffee. Valencia is a beautiful modern city with lots of high rise apartments and office blocks. About 25 years ago the city was badly damaged by flood waters when the river running through town over flowed. So they decided to divert the river away from town. The old river bed is now a beautifully planted park with a specific area of very stunning beautifully unusual buildings which house a stadium, aquerium, theatre, museum, opera house and water features. Paella (actually pronounced pya not sounding the 'l') is synonymous with Valencia so that was what Rog and I had for lunch. Now in the bus heading to Barcelona for 3 nights. Stopped st Tarragona to view Roman coleseum ruins
Arrived in Barcelona 7.30 so a hotel dinner is a good choice for tonight. In the beach photos note how much sand you have to cross to reach the water. Note the smallest house in Barcelona. Skinned rabbit for sale in the food market. The big coulourful building with all the people on the steps. No they're not urinals. They deflect the exhaust fumes apparently. Bit high for urinals
