Day 26 – Valencia

Our final full day in Valencia, after class we said goodbye to a few people who where travelling that night while we made plans with the rest for dinner. Once plans where made, we headed down south again to a national reserve opposite a beach. It was a large wetlands area, home to fishing and vast and varied wildlife. Small sailing boats dotted the shore offering tourists a chance to see the lake

We then changed our course and made our way slowly to the beach. It was a much more “free and liberal” area as we stumbled upon a couple expressing there naked love for each other. When we arrived at the beach it also appeared to be clothing optional. We eventually found a spot without any people and enjoyed the waves and water before heading back to the city.

That night we again enjoyed sangria, tapas and a big serving of paella as we all swapped stories of places we had been and shared our dreams of places we want to visit. The conversation once again flowed in to the night as we eventually had to part ways and pre pair for our travels the following morning

Day 24 – Valencia

The morning went by without a hitch, I’m starting to pick more words out of a spoke  sentence in Spanish. So I guess I’m learning something. The afternoon was again spent at the beach, however this time we ventured away from the main tourist spot and went south. 

We stopped at Saler, a small town about 30minutes outside of Valencia and enjoyed a beach that had waves you could slightly bodysurf on. We went with a few people from the hostel and enjoyed a game of beach tennis as well.

That night we journeyed out again in search of Sangria and Tapas and found it in abundance. The seafood in this part of the world is fresh and delicious. Calamares grilled with some oil and garlic was always a favorite.

We also walked past some impressive street art the adorns many spots in Valencia.
