The scenery was a mix of fantastic beaches, port side landscapes and finally the city itself. They put a serious investment into the cycle tracks typified by this pair of bridges.
Spotted this German guy in a small coach that he had converted into a camper.....the coach was exactly the same age as me......we are both wearing well π
The city shows a great face as you ride in with some awesome buildings.
This one was the science museum and on the outside had this auditorium, Lynn and I stood at opposite ends (can you see her at the far end) and could speak to each other as if we stood side by side. It cut out all of the extraneous noise and captured just our voice.....fantastic.
We made our way through the park, which runs through the centre of the city to the old town, to find the food market. This is a fantastic place every bit as good as the Boqueria but not as crowded.
When heading back we found an absolutely packed local food and wine festival.
You bought a ticket for €10 and this got you a wine glass, a bowl and eight sample tickets. Well when in Valencia.....
The idea was you wander around, talk to local producers about their produce and swap a ticket for a sample
Look at that for a Spanish sampleπ
The ride home was a bit of a blur, but we did spot some kite surfers out in force.
Can you be arrested for being drunk in charge of a bike? xxx
