Another visit, wandering and staring up and around on the instruction of my guide book ensured that I saw enough things different to justify a second a visit on purely tourist grounds. What I haven't got a photo of is the bull fighting arena. Whether for or against such sports, people have a taste for such 'sport' and it touches a desire within humans that has been present for thousands of years. For that reason, capturing the image of the the arena also captures a a glimpse of the human condition and the history of the region.
Another flying visit but even though its one day trip which begins with a trip to the airport at 3AM, I would rather be doing this, soaking up history and culture plus learning something new instead of going into the office! Obviously it's been combined with a bit of trading which make the trip cost free.
Such trips usually involve me not got going to sleep that night so that I can leave for the airport without risk of oversleeping. Whenever I get a moment I go to sleep so that as soon as board the aircraft I switch off so that when I next wake its normally because my ears are popping during the descent! Bus journeys also give a great opportunity for sleeping though in Valencia the bus transfer is only about half an hour. Still, that's half an hour of sleep. In the summer months I sometimes go for a nap in a public place such as a busy park making sure that my bag is wrapped around a body part!
