The bus turned up.  We all hoped for the best.  Everything was fine.

Today we go to Valencia.  We travel down the coast road and the houses look more like Spanish haciendas and it is lot drier looking.  There are mountains close to the coast.

Samuel told a lot of history on the Spanish Inquisition.  If anyone wants to know about this please let me know.

There are 8 nuclear power plants and they provide 20% of the power and 40% is from coal, gas and oil and the rest is from solar and wind.  They sometimes have to import power from France.

You can drink alcohol, vote and drive when you are 18.

Spanish people do not camp much but people from France and the Netherlands like to especially in the area that we were driving through.

Valencia has about 1000000 people and is the third largest city.  Main industry is furniture, ceramics and flowers.  They grow 40% of Europe’s needs.  We went to the city of Arts and Sciences again.  These buildings were designed by Calatrava .  There are still three bull fights a year here.

During our guided walk we had a drink made from tiger nuts(from a tree) and is called horchata.  It is made with sugar and water and served cold.  It was quite refreshing. It cured high blood pressure, cholesterol,  fertility, heart, liver anti oxidant etc.  In other words it cures everything Ken has.
