Ugochill Music Tranquilo in Valencia part1.

Hello everyone.

Last days of February, first week of March I was privileged to visit Valencia in Spain with my family.

"Valencia[a] (Valencian: València)[b][5] is the capital of the autonomous community of Valencia and the third-most populated municipality in Spain, with 791,413 inhabitants. It is also the capital of the province of the same name. The wider urban area also comprising the neighbouring municipalities has a population of around 1.6 million,[3][6] constituting one of the major urban areas on the European side of the Mediterranean Sea. It is located on the banks of the Turia, on the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula, at the Gulf of Valencia, north of the Albufera lagoon."

Long story short :), it is truly an amazing place, we absolutely loved it. The great reputation that city enjoys is obviously based on the reality of things, it is not just pure marketing.

I have tons of photos casually made while walking around and while viewing them, have realized that there are bit too many for one blog post, as I made lots of photos of street art and street parties as well, and those will deserve their own post dedicated to that aspect of the city.

Valencia is by every account a big and modern city, but it is also compact, and all parts are easily accessible either by public transport, bikes or simply on foot.

We had accommodation right on the beach so after we arrived, and had first glimpses of the city, our first real view was this kilometers long, beautiful walkway and beach.

You could easily spend there, whole day long, day after day, for many years. No need to see the rest of the city or the world or anything else. :)

But that was not really our ambition, so we had high tempo days, where we tried to see and visit as much as we could.
Valencia is also situated on flat terrain and bicycles are commonly used for transport bit like it is here in Holland, so that also came to us as really handy. Some days we walked around, some days we drove around. Beautiful experience.
Truly beautiful place, having a very strong tranquilo vibe. We were sorry we had to go back.

We also met dear friends and fellow hivers , @ph1102 and @mipiano, and I strongly suggest reading their post as well, about the city.

And now come the photos.

In part 2 I will post photos of street art and street parties we were lucky to encounter. The vibe and culture in Valencia is very nice and it deserves special focus.

It is one of those cities where you say, hmmmm I could certainly spend more time here than just one week. But then again, I say that for most of the Mediterranean cities. :)

Beautiful experience and hopefully I'm able to share a bit of that motion and emotion with this post.

Thank You for reading.
Best regards.
