East Coast City of Velencia

After visiting the famous Dali museum, we have drove our brand sparking new Volkswagen Polo south for 450 KM to the city of Velencia. The driving trip itself was indeed very fast as we found the roads to be in very good condition and everyone was driving like they live on the famous german "autobaun" with speeds of 150 -180 KM / hour. We have reached these speeds however we realized what a nasty financial strain on our gas tank so we decided to be conservative and safe and drive as if we were in Canada.

We stayed in a Hostel which has leased some of it´s space from a old church that is not really in service. It had huge 15-20 feet ceilings and it took forever to use the stairs to reach the floors for the kitchen and the bedrooms. We stayed in a room where everyone was from Canada. Too many ehh to be counted.

The local attractions itself was not really exciting however the inner city used to be protected from a huge stone wall perimeter (the gates of these walls still remain today) with various historical landmarks inside. At the port, Velencia is known to host the world wide Louis Vuitton Cup or other words the America Cup. Currently the event is entering it´s 32nd year with 12 teams competing.

Andy decided to visit the beach while I decided to visit Spain´s best art museum the contains various impressionist and historical paints from Spain´s famous artists from previous centuries.
