Valencia2011

Our next stop on our European trip was Valencia. It is a place we had been before but it had been about ten years, so we were excited about going back.

We had a great day in Valencia; I think we hit most of the high spots certainly every thing we wanted to see. We climbed to the top of the tower of the Valencia Cathedral, The Cathedral of the Holy Chalice. The climb just about wiped me out. After that we went for some lunch, pintcos which is some expensive snacks that Jenny just loved. We went to Sagardi Restaurant, and I think it made her day and was one of the highlights of her trip to Valencia. Then we went to the new Art & Science Campus; of course this was just great. All we could do is take picture after picture of all the beautiful buildings.

This is the Cathedral with the towel we climb in the foreground; it wasn't that we hadn't done it before!

Here is a picture of the Holy Chalice of the Last Supper. Check out the web site; supposedly many experts actually believe that it is the real item! I'm not convinced.

Jenny getting a lesson on how to "draw" the local fermented apple juice at Sagardi Restaurant. It was pretty good!

One of the side streets!

Just one of the many photos I took of the City of Arts and Sciences Campus.

Sorry! Just one more! This complex was built in the mid-1990's is at the end of the old riverbed Turia. Turia became a garden in 1980, after the bypass of the river by the great flood of Valencia in 1957.
