Valencia, Spain - 2023
Valencia was a quick two day trip with my aunt Verka in August of 2023. We took it easy, taking it all in, eating our way through the city! It is quite small, so it’s ideal for a more relaxed portion of a bigger trip. The beach’s proximity, the plentiful restaurants, and the laid back vibe were huge benefits!
The city’s residents are active, often seen jogging or working out on the river bed turned park of the original river that ran through town. The weather is gorgeous this time of year, and the food is great as long as you eat away from the main town square.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with paella, as this is the birthplace of the best food to ever exist! The mariscos, pastries, and bebidas were always fresh and affordable.
I highly recommend making a stop here on your Spanish travels!
