All weekend was the Festival de la Virgen which is a huge deal in Valencia. So as we were eating the city was preparing for a parade.

In fact, almost every male we met spoke English, Spanish, French, Italian, some Portuguese, and obviously Arabic. However, none of the women we tried to talk to (such as those selling fruits and vegetables in the market since very few were seen anywhere else) spoke anything other than Arabic.
