Travels in Spain, Valencia Old Town

Posted on June 1, 2019 | 26 Comments

Two years ago I visited the Spanish city of Valencia.  I liked it, I liked it a lot and said that I would like to return quite quickly so this year I did just that.

Here are some new pictures.  Click on an image to scroll through the Gallery…

I did mostly the same things so instead of repeating myself you can find my previous post about Valencia here.

    No way I’d go on those stairs, Got giddy just looking at them, that gate pic 7 got me, Why would they go through the trouble with all that carving whatever for a gateway? Unless it took so long to come answer the doorbell and was to keep those waiting to enter amused.
    Glad we beat them in 1588.

        October 21st Trafalgar that was the froggies!
        I went to the Painted Hall at Greenwich on the 21st October 2005, I thought there’d be some big celebration going on, but no they apparently had it in June when they had the summers day. The hall was being set up for a big dinner though, the Duke of York was to be top man there, Thought they might have asked me to join them , I could have given them some RN history lessons.

    I love Valencia, as well, the architecture and especially the food market. Traditional Valenciana paella also always include “ferradura” (wide runner green beans.)
