Valencia, Spain

For our final night of the road trip, we stayed in a cave on the outskirts of Valencia. The cave was surprisingly cool and comfortable for an overnight stay.

In the evening we headed into Valencia. We hadn’t planned on visiting Valencia as we had already seen a number of Spanish cities. But I’m so glad we did! We only visited the centre of the city for a couple of hours, but there were plenty of shops and restaurants plus heaps of historic buildings and streets. Luckily for us, we visited during the time of Las Fallas. This is a festival which has been celebrated in the city for hundreds of years. It involves impressive sculptures (sometimes costing millions of Euros to create) being placed around the city. At the end of the festival, the sculptures are burnt! There was a fantastic atmosphere in the city for our visit.Read more
