<\/a>Valencia is a beautiful city.<\/p>\nIt has a \u00c2\u00a0large green space created from a riverbed. That space is filled\u00c2\u00a0with trails, museums, a concert hall, and places to relax.<\/p>\n
The beach! A large public beach on the Mediterranean. Great restaurants and loads of public spaces.<\/p>\n
We stayed at the Hotel Ad Hoc Monumental<\/a> just between the old city and the green space. A great location. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff was very accommodating and helpful. When I made the reservation I asked for a room with a terrace or balcony, on the advice of another traveler. We were upgraded to a ‘superior’ room with a terrace on the top floor. The terrace was tile with decent views and enough furniture for several people. What a nice touch! \u00c2\u00a0The clerk, Antonio, said that we got that room because we asked and that the hotel was booked and no one had reserved a superior room.<\/p>\n Right after arriving, about 5 minutes before the restaurant closed, \u00c2\u00a0the desk clerk arranged for us to have lunch at the restaurant associated with the hotel,\u00c2\u00a0Boix Quatre Restaurant.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Other places we ate wee<\/p>\n We \u00c2\u00a0spent one day walking from our hotel along the green space. \u00c2\u00a0Along the way we visited \u00c2\u00a0Palau de la Musica<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0the concert hall of Valencia. On the morning of October 31 we took a train back to Barcelona.

<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Then down to the City of Arts and Sciences.<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Fantastic architecture, beautiful setting. \u00c2\u00a0 Then we walked to the beach \u00c2\u00a0which was full. Lynn took off her shoes and waded into the sea. I was feeling pretty sick – cold or flu symptoms – and just walked along. \u00c2\u00a0After lunch we walked to a restaurant and then eventually took a \u00c2\u00a0bus back to our place. When we went to the cathedral square, a platform was set up with folk dancers. Another morning we went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Valencia<\/a>, about a 10 minute walk from our hotel. Two floors of several rooms of paintings and religious artifacts primarily from Valencia and Spain. Excellent collection and display. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0We had a very nice time in Valencia.<\/p>\n
