We arrived safely in Valencia after a rather long drive. We were a bit nervous as Valencia was mentioned in our travel guide, we really weren't sure what to expect. It is the third largest city in Spain, along the coast. This part of Spain is famous for their oranges. The orange juice was the best I had ever tasted. It was freshly squeezed which is a change from the bottled stuff.
On the first evening we walked for about an hour wandering and looking around heading to the beach in search of a restaurant that Dianne had recommended. Sadly, being Easter it was closed. Instead, we had drinks and a little tapas watching the sunset.
The weather was quite warm compared to Barcelona, we had left the little bit of rain behind. Our hotel looked over a nice leafy space. It was a very beautiful city with a gorgeous park that runs through most of the city. We stayed there for two nights and explored some great sights. We even got to watch a local soccer game. They weren't the best team but it was nice to watch a social game. I also got to discover a famous Spanish style of having coffee. It was called a Cafe Bombon, it was so yummy. It was a shot of coffee with the same amount of condensed milk. I definitely wouldn't have it every day but it was nice for a treat.
After Valencia, we picked up car number 2 and headed to Granada.
