These pictures were taken on the first and last days of our trip. Each one is a side of the huge town gate that was near our apartment. Valencia was a great town to visit, especially for our little family. Thanks Valencia!

We had another leisurely day in the park, enforced by the fact that everything was closed for the May 1st holiday. Luckily, we had enough groceries to see us through a picnic in the park. We headed away from the city center, along the long park paths, and found some nice play areas and even a little mini cafe in the park.

Our vacation was drawing to a close, and this day was for taking care of loose ends. We did laundry, visited local yarn stores, the big market (I love those!), and waited and waited for our chosen lunch place to open. We didn’t end up getting a seat on the terrace, but it was the best meal we had the whole vacation (in my opinion).

After our other day’s activities (yarn store, yummy lunch) we went home and had a little siesta. Then we went back out to the El Corte Ingles, where there was a little travelling carnival in the courtyard. There was a bouncy castle, bumper cars, and other carnival rides. The kids loved it. They had a blast.
