A day storming Valencia

Got up for a rare hotel brekky, before setting out to walk all day - 22k steps ahead for us 😱

Started in the city centre, with the interesting Silk Museum, then on through the busy market and out to the main park in Valencia.
The Turia River used to flow through, but flood management mean that it was diverted, and the result is a long, winding park with many features along the way.

It was a hot day, and we paused to try the local horchata and fartons - a sweet creamy cold drink with a sweet pastry to dip. Unusual yet tasty!

Onwards to the Science Park with some simply astonishing buildings. No time to visit the museums, however: we will have to return one day: we continued to the seaside, where we sadly chose a very average paella.

Finally, realising our exhaustion, we caught a bus back to town.Baca lagi
