Valencia

Valencia is our last stop in Spain before heading to Turkey to meet the group again. Valencia felt nice and intimate for such a large city. Nothing like Barcelona, very safe and friendly. We were staying in the old town and didn't travel too far from our place as it was conveniently next to all the best bars and restaurants. We did however do a free walking tour with a nice Scottish bloke and got amongst the history of Valencia, which played a very interesting part in making Spain the Catholic country it is today and liberating the country from a Fascist rule post WWII. 

 The old gates to the city, still in great condition with a cool moat on the other side which has since been turned into a nice park that surrounds the city.

 This is the skinniest building in Europe. Its 1 meter wide and still remains a residential property.

 Somehow Oscar managed to sniff out a boutique beer stall in the Central market. He tried a really nice local Valencian pale ale.

 The Central Market. It was enormous! And definitely the nicest fresh food market i've ever been in. All the walls were covered in tiled mosaics and the glass dome was huge. There was something like 190 stalls in the market selling everything from fruit and veg, baked good, meat, fish, Asian food, Indian food and Beer!
