Valencia

My first trip to Valencia!

I have been to Barcelona every year since 2011. And besides Madrid, I have barely visited other Spanish towns.

Spain's 3rd largest city is just 4h away  by train or bus. When I realized it was La fiesta de San Vicente, heading to the birthplace of the Paella was an easy decision. 
But first... breakfast

3h 23 min away!


























Valencia's North Station



















Paella con mariscos






Sand Castle in La Malvarrosa






View from my room at the Miramar











No bulls fighting today...

Avenue Macarons





The owner is from Paris and vows to never leave Valencia






One of each, please!





Marketplace





















Plaza de la Virgen


















The following day was La Fiesta de San Vicente Ferrer, patron of the Valencia Community

Business is shut down. Traditional dresses are worn. Every square in the city is decorated. None more so than Plaza de la Virgen
