Valencia

We ended staying in Valencia an extra day. It is the home of many renowned events, including the world cup soccer, formula 1 races and the Americas cup sailing. The pier is amazing full of beautiful sailboats. There are bicycle and running lanes all over the city. The public park is also lined with exercise equipment. Probably why not many europeans are obese. The architecture is VERY diverse. There is the historic area then the much more modern scientific area. The buildings in this area include an opera house, IMAX, aquarium and a scientific museum which are built to replicate the Nautilus from 20,000 leagues under the sea.

So as we are walking through the historic area we walk through a little gated park of orange trees and it hits us VALENCIA ORANGES duh!!

    Hey I recognize that color stacey your bike looks great. I know the drivers over there are crazy. Even in cars it’s scarey. The views are great i’m glad your experiencing it and the america’s cup sailing is right up Todd’s alley. Skinny people over there and all they do is drink wine and have cheese. We must be doing something wrong. I’ll keep following. Have a great day. Be Safe…

    Hey, just noticed you passed Carboneras. You went pretty far in one day, from Valencia. I guess the bikes are the way to go.
