Valencia

Valencia lovely place (apart from a bit smelly!)
Did the some of main sites, lapped up the sunshine, enjoyed a bit of rooftop pool action, got festive with rice, and basically continued enjoying Spain!
Some of the things we did...
Torres de Sarranos - Gothic gateway.

La Lonja 15th Century site. Original Silk and Commodity exchange building. Gothic building surrounding courtyard.

Walk along some of Jardin del Turia

Mercado Central - Jeremy braved the horchata (Milky beverage made from tiger nuts)

On Saturday and Sunday, there was a Rice/Paella 🥘 festival that we made sure we were near for lunch. We tried a variety of paella made from the different rice...bomba, sénia, and albufera. Great atmosphere!

Catedral - once again, another church built over a mosque.
The Holy Grail is housed here...pretty impressive. Renaissance Frescoes (angels playing musical instruments) above the main altar, which were rediscovered only during renovations when removing the Baroque vault that covered them are beautiful.
Other artwork and sculptures are so admired...
Would've been nice to spend a bit longer here but more of Spain is callingRead more
