We had a lovely day at the Aquarium in Valencia yesterday but I am really looking forward to today. I am visiting my aunt Charo, my cousin Susana (same as me) and her husband Eugenio who live in Puerto de Sagunto, 20 kms north of Valencia. This is the place where I used to spend my summers when I was young.
Spain
Fishes, science and architecture in Valencia
Valencia recently built a series of beautiful buildings which we really wanted to visit. They are all by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
Too many dots, the never ending ridge
North of Benidorm, just a stones throw lies some amazing rocky landscapes. They appear in many of the marketing images. We went to take a look ourselves. They had a surprise in store for us.
An ever changing landscape
This was a post which I started back in the UK but never got around to publishing, partly because I wanted to see what the continent would bring.
Throughout our journey, something new is appearing on the horizon. Something large, sleek, elegant and something in abundance.
Two very different towns
We finished the worktop eventually. The kitchen was up and running a few days before we left, so we could invite relatives and friends for lunch to give them a proper farewell. We are now back on the road ready to enjoy the last few weeks in Spain.
Having a bit of fun
We are back to Guisando for about ten days to say good-bye to our beloved house, mountains, family and friends before heading off to Valencia and, gradually leaving Spain. Time to move on to a new country: Italy.
Six month anniversary
Can you believe it, our six month anniversary of travel slipped by and we didn’t really notice, we were just having too good a time.
The town of the Thousand and One Nights
We are gradually making our way back to Guisando, where we will spend about a week before leaving Spain towards Italy and East Europe. But on our way we stop at Cordoba, the town of the thousand and one nights.
Bridges
Two days, two towns. But what caught my attention was three bridges.
Riding in the Old Wild West
After spending a few relaxing days in our friends’ apartment in Islantilla, Huelva, we are approaching Doñana National Park. There are a few towns at the edge of the park where we can spend the night. Which one to choose? We went for El Rocio and we are so glad we did.
