Valencia

It has been a 'travel' day today.  We have gone well over 250k's from Barcelona to Valencia. And there won't be enough time to give you every little insight into what has happened.

Our first stop was a seaside resort called Peniscola.  Don't try to pronounce ot because it doesn't come out that way in Spanish.  This is just row after row of Holiday Units on the Mediterranean.

It has wide sandy beaches and a castle which featured in the movie all those years ago called El Cid. (middle photo)

The sand was like what we would find on Northern Queensland beaches.  Not the grainy wonderful sand of the Sunshine Coast but sand which with a little help would be come mud.

We enjoyed Calamari Roman for lunch before hitting the road again for Valencia.

Valencia is a much smaller city than Barcelona.  It is a one night only destination so quite rushed, just like this post.  I much prefer Valencia to Barcelona.

It was great sitting back in the City Square enjoying the 20 degree sunshine and soaking up the atmosphere.

Tonight we are all out for Paella for our evening meal.

I will let the photos tell the story.

Tomorrow is another long drive day for a one night stay in Granada.

I also have photos on Instagram (Thomfam90)
