Calpe
The beach in Calpe is a lot more clear and blue, very pretty. Although I did see dirty look cloth floating around which freaked me out, lol. But, hey, all beaches are generally a tad dirty at the least. I think the beach in Calpe is prettier than in Valencia.
Boat we rode at La Albufera
Before we got to Calpe, we stopped at a city called La Albufera, it's known for the park there. We all took a ride on a boat and saw the park. It's very beautiful, I saw some (I believe) storks.Next, we stopped at La Cullera and saw the church there. I took a ride in this little glass pod that went up the hill on a railway, used it instead of the stairs.
Take this instead of the stairs!
Then, we arrived in Calpe. The hotel room I stayed in was beautiful. The balcony was more like a terrace and had a nice view of the beach.

Also, in Calpe we ate a seafood restaurant, I had salmon and the others had paella.
Me and shrimp head
On sunday, we went to Gandia, another beach town. We were suppose to do water sports: sailing, surfing, windsurfing and kayaking. However, becasue there was a strong rip tide, we couldn't. It's the law in Gandia. The guides set up some other games for us, but they were pretty lame. The only one I participated in entailed us putting cups in our mouths and running to a bucket and filling it with than running back and dumping the cup in another bucket. Gave me a workout though. I spent the rest of the hours laying on the beach.
I've attached all the pictures from the weekend. I didn't realize how many I took.
