7th Octobet
Up at half past sparrows fart so I could meet Sarah and Pa at the beach at 0730 to watch the sunrise. We met at La Malva Rosa then walked along to Las Aranas where Pa and Sarah went for a swim.
We had a coffee then returned to our respective homes as I was meeting them for lunch with Marina too hopefully. At 1330 we all met at El Bobo and shared calamares a la plancha (not Sarah) then a vegan paella. Pa and I were hoping for a traditional paella but the restaurant only serves one type if rice if less than 8 people – weird. It was lovely and boy was it (unexpectedly) hot (the weather). Marina seemed as perky as one could expect. Asked the chap on next table to take some photos but he passed the phone to his partner who it turned out was an actual photographer!
After I returned to hotel and blobbed to stay out of sun then ventured out again at around 7 pm.
Valencia is spectacular, it really is bars and eateries everywhere and the evening climate was lovely. Had a beer on a nice little aide road.
I wandered to El Corte Ingles and sat at their Bodega – I had Huebos Fritos with Jamon and some nice white wine. Chatted to an American (Mexican) couple who live here and using Valencia as a base to travel Europe – boy do they get around – lucky them.
Wandered to hotel then caught up on slow horses.
