Bikes in Valencia!

Today we started with a bicycle tour of the old city and some of the river park.

València has an endless supply of beautiful architecture that dates back centuries. The challenge is to see and appreciate it without being fixated on documenting everything.

The bike lane here is quite serious. Apparently bikes sorta have a right of way and as a pedestrian you really have to be aware of where the painted lanes are.

The park area is a former river bed which was routed away from the city after severe flooding in the 1950s. Since then, about 9 miles of the old riverbed has been transformed into various types of park and recreational area.

I could imagine traveling back to Spain and spending a more relaxed time in the Valencia area!Read more
