Bus ride to Valencia at night was not that bad but tired as
hell. South America bus really spoil me like crazy I guess and doing overnight
bus everywhere else just does not get any sleep at all other than the pre-dawn
sleep of 2 hours and then off the bus at 7 am.
Valencia was beautiful surprisingly. My first impression was
that this is a good slacking place to be. Great Hostel at Euro 7.50 a night,
good supermarket nearby, a good kitchen, lovely semi old streets, a nearby
semi-nude beach, cheap paella lunch at 5 euro I was so tempted to slack away
and stay here for a month but that would have taken away time from somewhere
else.
Best thing to do in Valencia is of course is go biking
around the city. A really flat city making it splendid to cycle around all the
nooks and explore the maze like city yet large enough that exploring for a
whole day or two is possible. I took the bike from the hostel and went around
just zig zagging my way around till I finally decided to find lunch.

The café was somewhere I did not even know where I was but
when the waiter came out I was stunned. So pretty she was, Asian face, small
size plain, not sexy or hot nor cute but simple with glasses and a pony tail
with white shirt and mini shorts. Too bad she could not speak English only
Spanish and I was sputtering to order. Ah my Valencia love …
Valencia was not as popular a destination in Spain for some
reason. Most tourist I meet just somehow skip by this town on a fast train to
south Spain visiting the coast and the culture of the gypsies. Barcelona was
close enough that most would rather skip Valencia to see Barcelona. I found
Valencia full of charming character.

They had a horny Merchant that somehow bribe the
construction crew of the church to install a masturbating gargoyle on the top
of the church …. Not one but two of em .. at both corners … a pair of male and
female …. My camera was unfortunately not good enough to capture a good picture
but it is the pride and joy of the free walking tour guide that they have something
no other cities in the world had.
Valencia also has some of the most crazy modern architecture
smack in what used to be a river bed. The city of art and science they call it
which before I arrived thought it would be a boring modern art crap that I am
so used to seeing everywhere in the world. Valencia got it right … the right
balance I would say.

How many nude beach do you know in Europe ??? Up north is to
cold and that leaves Portugal and Spain. France is too uptight and the Baltics
are crazy. Barcelona is too crowded and Valencia is just 3 hours away and quiet
lovely long long long very long white sandy beach that has plenty of room to
spare. I was sure I was not in the nudist beach section while cycling along the
sidewalk but it was so damn spaced out that people went bare anyway.
