One of the last things we visited in Valencia was the City of Arts and Science, which was recently built to try and bring more tourist to the city. It was crazy how intense these buildings were, almost as if they didn't really fit in. There is the largest opera house in Europe, an outdoor aquarium, and a science museum, but all these three places didn't have anything super interesting inside but were all so focused on the design and bringing tourist in. It looked like a resort,after having walked there i was so hot it was very tempting to jump in the mile long fountains they had. We left Valencia and had a nice relaxing and fun weekend in Sitges with some of my friends, our house was amazing, i'm glad everything worked out, plus i was able to make some homemade guac for everyone. It was so nice to be able to relax, sleep in, and lay out at the beach get some good Spanish color.

great talking with you yesterday. Valencia sounds like an interesting city. Those buildings are so futuristic, they almost look like a fake postcard. Doesn't look like there are too many tourist. Glad you slowed down to soak up the spanish sun.
