Valencia

Traveled by train via the coast 4 hours south from Barcelona on Friday 23rd staying in an Airbnb right in the heart of Valencia city. Valencia is a lot nicer city than Barcelona as less traffic in the inner part of the city with less motorists and more foot traffic. The beautiful old buildings and a thousands of places to eat out makes it a destination for tourists from around the world.

Under our Airbnb a garage full of old cars 🤩

Spent 4 days here exploring the city and sights when we fly to Amsterdam to visit Debs dads family.

Historical buildings in the main city

The arts centre

The markets were fabulous with so much delicious and interesting foods 

 

A bike ride today took us to the fabulous beaches of Valencia where I had a swim in the warm Mediterranean Sea. We rode through Turia park and along the Promenade of La Malvarrosa beach and the waterfront. 

Metropolitan Cathedral-Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady of Valencia

We visited the main cathedral in Valencia 

And saw the ‘holy grail’ - the holy chalice from the last supper.
