We loved winding through the back streets of Valencia with David, soaking in the sights and history—long ago and COVID-recent—-of protest art. He was willing to speak in a mezcla of Spanish and English so we could practice.
Personable, knowledgeable, and kind…he found just the right xorchata stand to finish our tour.
The town is ideal for biking, and ours worked very well. We wound up leaving a bag there, renting the bikes for the rest of the day, and heading through the dry riverbed park and across to the beach for a late afternoon swim.
We spotted many more murals and street art, now with more context for their symbols, stories, and artists.
