Greetings from beautiful, and sunny, 74 degrees Valéncia, Spain!
We made the quick two hour drive from Alicante, Spain to Valencia with no problems and checked in to our Airbnb!
We’ve stayed here previously, and enjoyed the space and the city very much.
Valéncia is a large city with over 1.5 million residents. It has the second largest port on the Mediterranean. Agriculture and tourism are its economic strengths, and it’s a lovely city.
You might remember that in November Valéncia had a terrible flood that killed over 220 people. We drove past this very spot the above picture shows. It’s must have been terrible and tragic. We said our prayers for the residents.🙏🏻
Valéncia is a world renowned food city. It’s located in the bread basket of Spain, and its food and markets are some of the world’s best!
It’s an easy walk to the market from the Airbnb, 20 minutes and we passed fantastic bakery after fantastic bakery! We must be getting closer to France 😉
First built in 1910, the Central Market in Valencia is fantastic. Let’s take a tour.
The market has everything, including gifts and tapas bars!
Okay, Okay, enough with the food says TGC, let’s pound out the steps 🫣
Walking tour time…Valéncia is a fantastic walking city, flat and very well laid out. This is two days of walking, 18,000 steps per day!
Bull fighting in March, July and October in Valencia. It sells out quickly 🤔
We deserve a treat after all that don’t ya think?
Well that concludes our time in Spain. We’re heading to France tomorrow🥖
We really, really enjoyed our time in Spain. The people are wonderful, and they love life in Spain. The food is delicious and the scenery spectacular! Hopefully we’ll get to come back!
