In Valencia

I went to Valencia on 13th June as I needed a break from work. The weather was fantastic, very warm, with perfect temperatures in the evenings. My host Emma lives in El Grau district, right by the Marina and the beach. She is a Spanish woman of my age, who is a pilates teacher and does contemporary dance. She eats organic food and is a very nice person. On the first day I went to the beach of course, and in the evening to an entrepreneurs meeting, to practise Spanish and make contacts. There were almost 300 people and I met really friendly people from all over the world. The meeting was in Palacio de Alameda, a posh bar/restaurant with a lovely terrace. I had an expensive but very good sangria, with a lot of alcohol and fruits.
