Travel to Valencia

The last weekend I made a very short visit to Valencia, which is in the southeast of Spain. After 4 hours on the motorway starting from Madrid we encountered a pretty nice city with huge buildings, palms and - for December - very hot weather about up to 20 degrees.

In the city we had some problems to encounter our hostel, for which we had made a reservation. So we had to ask many people and I learned many new words... primarily Italian swearings ;-). At last we found it and I was really surprised about the quality: Nice building, everything clean, colorful and international ambiance. In the late evening we were walking around in the streets and took some photos as the one on the upper left.

Later in the night we found some delicious original Italian pizza from a guy who came from the south of Italy. Then we spent the whole night until 6 am in some nice bars in town. Only having slept 5 hours, because the girl cleaning our rooms didn't give us more time, we felt a little bit tired the next day.

But nevertheless we went out to the beach of Valencia and took some photos. I remember a man wearing only bath shorts... well even with 20 degrees you have to be quite crazy to do this in December.
