Vamos a Valencia!

This previous weekend, my friends and I traveled to Valencia, Spain! It was so beautiful and the weather was perfect... sunny and 70! When we arrived, we ventured through the main plaza/city, taking many photos along the way. We visited the City of Arts and Sciences, which was simply spectacular! There was a planetarium, opera house, and a tennis center for very important matches! I wanted to see the tennis courts, but for some reason it was closed. This tourist attraction area reminded me a lot of Sydney, Australia, where the opera house is held. It was very modern and futuristic. The next day, we visited the beach (La Playa de la Malvarrosa) and walked along the shore. It was very warm out, but too cold to swim in the sea! We also enjoyed fresh seafood from the ocean...it was delicious!
