Yesterday we were back into Valencia. Drove to Rafelbunyol, parked, metro into the city and off at our regular stop, in the Turia gardens.
 |
| More of those bottled shaped, spikey trees. |
 |
| Up out of the park at this bridge and |
 |
| into the warren of narrow streets, guided by google. |
 |
| Mural. |
 |
| How the police get around in the old part of the city. |
 |
| Showed Gord around the |
 |
| Cathedral area. |
 |
| Then we went into La Almoina Archeological Museum. These Roman ruins were found when La Almoina (a poorhouse) was demolished, thus the name. |
 |
| Over the years the city has been built on what was here before, so these ruins are all below street level. |
 |
| It is not a huge area (considering what sites I have seen in Cyprus and Crete) but still it is quite extensive and well signed. |
 |
| Some of the artifacts are exceptional. |
 |
| Back out into the daylight and we went looking for food. |
 |
| So time to show Gord the market. |
 |
| We all order from this stall. |
 |
| Its all so tempting. |
 |
| We sat outside on the steps to the market and ate - I had a salmon on cream cheese pincho, 2 mushroom croquettes and a roll with goat cheese and tomato jam. |
 |
| Rick went back in and bought 3 cannolo which we shared along with the strawberries I had bought. |
 |
| Gord was in his element, he has hollow legs and |
 |
| grazed his way |
 |
| up and down the aisles (it may have been the high point of his trip) |
 |
| Can you tell I love the market. |
There's a glass of wine with my name on it, so, although I haven't finished the post for the day, it's time to join the guys on the balcony with potato chips and wine.
