Tuesday night, leading up to Wednesday i went to the beach in Sagunto in the later hours in the evening with two other guys and another girl. We took bikes to the beach, tied them up and walked around the beach, and that area of the city. It was 10ish and there were a lot of people out. It was a really cool experience because ive never seen the nightlife of a spanish town! there were people, walking their dogs, kissing, eating, talking and hanging out and such. One of the guys that went there had said there was a guy that sold churros with chocolate right by the beach, that was our goal, but we decided that he had to go to the doctor's office, and that's why we couldn't have any churros, because he was gone :p We had horchatas though, so it was a yummy trade off, my limon horchata was very good, very sweet and tangy, but it was amazing all the same! We got back to the dorm right when they were closing the dorm doors, so the other chica and i felt accomplished by getting there at that precise moment!
Wednesday groups A, B, and C went to valencia for a tour...thing. I had never been to Valencia before so it was a nice change of scenery (other than Sagunto). Sagunto is a nice city, but Valencia is a developed city, with a lot more people, buildings, and shops! We basically had the first couple of hours with the whole group, visiting all the major historical sites. We went to a church that had three major parts, The first was built by the Romans, the second was Gothic styled, and the third was Neo-Classical/Baroque (if its not baroque, then dont fix it-beauty and the beast). This was very beautiful, and it was interesting to see the church in three different time periods. In this cathedral there was a tower in which the public could go up and see the surrounding area. it was magnificent! There was also a group of little kids when we first got up, and a couple of dudes started talking with them, it was very cute! (i have a picture of it).
After we finished the tour with our group we went off in smaller groups. i was with two other chicas and two other chicos, so i felt safe enough. One of the dudes that was with us had been here during the summer so he knew where he was going. We took the metro to one of the surrounding towns and went to his favorite Horchata shoppe. My limon horchata was pretty good, not as tangy as the one i had by the beach, but it was very very good all the same.
My trip to Valencia has been a grand start to many other trips, other days and weekends :)
