Valencia II

Hey everybody,

As I promised, today I will tell you more about my trip to the beautiful city Valencia. After the first day with the new district Ciudad de les arts and the awesome beach, I had the pleasure to discover the old town and city center of Valencia. Before I started my tour, I checked what I wanted to see. That's why I marked every highlight on Google Maps and linked them to an all day tour. Do you also plan your trip like that? I started with the beautiful Mercado de Colon- a Market hall with various cafes and shops. A must do in Valencia is to drink the famous local “Horxata”- very tasty refreshing drink made of nuts, something like a milkshake. Also, you have to order “Fartons”. That is something like thin and long biscuits with sugar on it. This “menu” is typical for Valencia and a great snack or even breakfast. After that, I went on to the central station. A huge old train station looking a little bit like a cathedral. Next to the central station there is the City hall land the Post building. Two very impressive old Spanish buildings with great architecture. Going on to the center there is the Placa de la Reina with the cathedral and the Basilica de la Mare de Deu dels Desemparats. Believe me, both are unreliable beautiful. In front of the Cathedral, there are cafes and bars so we made a break and had a lunch. When you go towards the park that is around the city center, you can see the old city towers. When you climb them up you have an amazing view around the city. So you supposed to go there but it is obviously up to you. Overall, I really recommend Valencia and definitely will go back there. I never thought that Valencia offer that much and I am positively shocked. If you don't know when to go there, May is perfect option! However, there is also a celebration of Las Fallas- the term refers to monuments (those Falles) burnt during the celebration. Usually, it takes place in March so if you don't know where to go next year and you have days off, I hope now you know! :)

Thank you for visiting and reading my blog and hopefully you will return to read more about my next trips around Europe and the world.

See you soon!
