Hostal de la Trucha Villarluengo

... I eventually get to Valencia. Good plan, eh? I'm a thinker.

I open up the stowage door and start packing it in the backpack. I left my little hand held bag at my feet. I had noticed there was a guy behind me on the phone. But there were lots of people all around so I didn't really give him much thought. He came a little closer to me and in my peripheral vision it seemed he too was putting something in the luggage area, just further down. Again, whatever. Suddenly ...

... and things. Where I was staying it is a nice area with cobblestone and big square with fountains- the main one Plaza de la virgen with a fountain of Poiseidon. I made great friends here with the austrailan girls, a german, two dutch and a girl from norway and we went out together salsa dancing and also to the beach for the whole day following my arrival. For halloween it was quite a treat to see the whole city full of young kids dressed up. It was different ...

... on the oven) until all is baked.

Grilled vegetables
Also not for a campfire... Whenever we stay at peoples houses we use the oven eagerly! If you find a metal tray it might be possible to make it on open fire, but we didn't try yet..

Needed:
All kind of vegetables that you can find. peppers, eggplant, zuccini, tomatoes and patatoes (also the sweet ones) are great. Garlic and onion should not be forgotten ...

This town was really in the middle of nowhere. There was a huge windstorm and the town was super dead, except for a bunch of seniors at the bar down by the beach. We hung out there to use their internet and to watch an episode of Frasier in english. Not our most exciting day. We tried to rent mountain bikes at our resort but they had put them away for the winter... it was like 20 degrees out!

... j'adore dîner ŕ 14h et souper ŕ 21h! Andres nous fait écouter de la musique classique, ca faisait longtemps et ca me rend bien!! Je réalise que je passe dans la vie de ces gens des petits moments comme ils passent dans la mienne... Valence est une jolie ville, surtout le Vieux-Valence. Il y a pleins de lieux de vie, c'est convivial. Et l'espagnol est une ...

Si daca credeti ca afacerile imobiliare se fac cu inteligenta si profesionalism peste tot in Europa sa stiti ca aveti dreptate. Pentru a confirma acest lucru am sa va povestesc despre munca in Spania a unui roman de al nostru, de loc de prin Faget.

Citez din memorie. Eram la o cafea si nu la un sprit, deci banuiesc ca nu imi joaca feste memoria.

“Domnu’ Dumitrescu, deja aveam firma si ...

... but still nice thouh - a lot of little towers made out of red mosaicked brick. The whole architecture is different. I made it to the Plaza de la catedral - and I found it quite different than usually. Wandering trough that city you won't see any stores like H&M, Zara or Berskha....nothing like that...small boutiques but that is pretty much it - hardly any supermarkets ...

Today was La Tomatina!!!!! For those that don't know this is a festival that takes place in Bunol, about an hr outside Valencia, where the object is to just have one massive tomato fight. The origins of the festival are jjust that, one day some guys decided they wanted to have a tomato fight so they did, and the festival began. We woke up at 7 am for a quick breakfast before boarding the bus to Bunol. I slept most of the way there but I think Lizzie checked out ...

Katie: 'This has to be one of the most frustrating days of our travels!! Grrr' Jay: 'Ditto, now can you please concentrate on your hitch-hiking skills and make sure the cars can see your thumb!' I promise I am not turning into one of those "train-spotter crazy people" but I really do love some train travel. Jumping on a train and watching the world go by via overland travel is so much better than air-travel as you can watch the landscape ...
