Flew from Hong Kong to Madrid on Cathay. Fourteen hours so a pretty lng flight.
I cleared customs quickly and made my way to the train station. Caught the local train to Charmatin station then got on the high speed train to Valencia...
I wanted to try somewhere else in Spain and Valencia is highly regarded, and Spain's 3rd largest city. A comfortable two hour trip on Iryo which is one of the better train companies.
Arrived in Valencia and walked ten minutes to my AirBnb. I had chosen it based on the appearance of the building and the little balcony...
I dropped my bags and went for a walk. Centro Mercado is very close...
I am staying in the old town and there are many beautiful buildings everywhere. This is the Silk Exchange...
This is looking inside the Silk Exchange...
I continued to walk around to get my bearings which is what I like to do in a new city. The weather is beautiful...
I walked up to the Turia Gardens which are an old riverbed. The river was diverted many years ago and it is now a beautiful park...
One of the city gates...
For dinner I had been recommended a restaurant near the port called Casa Montana. It's hard to get into so I had booked in advance. Great food. This is the squid...
The beef...
The ham...
