After 7.5 hours on a bus (opted for the bus instead of train since it takes the same time as a train and arrives at a more decent hour. It was also much cheaper!), I finally reached Valencia at 7am in the morning.
Carlos was kind enough to pick me up at the bus station, which I later found out he actually took a 45 minutes walk from his place to the bus station (oops!)!
Headed back to his place where I continued with my sleep before waking up close to mid-day. We headed out to the beach to get some Paella (Paella originated from Valencia! Though the place we went to for Paella didn’t seem great at all. I had better in Madrid. Looks like I should go hunting for somewhere better ) before heading downtown to see some of the sights.
As it was a Saturday, some of the places were already closed. Out of the few places which I had seen today, the most remarkable attraction in Valencia would be the City of Arts & Science.
Designed by Santiago Carlatrava, it is extremely impressive and contains a Science Museum, a Planetarium, IMAX cinema, Aquarium and the Arts Museum. The space taken by these landmarks is massive!
Check out some of the pictures from this place!
