Valencia 104 — The Beach

Since we had seen the beautiful beaches and coastline in Croatia, we had to see what Valencia had to offer.  I also wanted to walk back from the beach on the road that I lived on as a student — the Avenue of the Port.  We walked down through the gardens (see prior post) which got us very close to the beach through the lovely arts and sciences complex (see next post).  It was a lovely day, but I didn’t recognize much from “my” old street — I guess 30 years and some urban renewal efforts will do that.

We popped into Las Arenas hotel — a 5 star hotel complex on the beach. This was one of their pools.
