This is Erich reporting live from Benicassim on the Costa Alzahar. We
have been in Spain for 3 weeks now. My family and I have been riding down
the eastern coast of Spain for the past 2 weeks. The remainder of the time
has been spent either staying in the same place for multiple days or
renting apartments.
Some of my favorite sights were in the city of Valencia. Besides the
cathedral and the old city gates, we encountered a park in which inside
the fence there was a huge 100 foot tall, plastic model of Gulliver. It
was incredible. Twisting trails led all over the outside and slides down
the giant's hair, the inside of his shoe and even down his belt. Later
the same day my mom and I went to an incredible aquarium called The
Oceanographic. The first thing we did when we got inside was head to the
arena where a stunning dolphin show took place almost as soon as we sat
down. We also saw Sea Horses(my favorite), Japanese Spider Crabs, Walruses
(my mom's favorite) and Sawsharks.
The next day we went and watched some real Spanish folk dancing in the
Placa del Virgen. The dancers wore big phroofy costumes and fake hair
traditional to the Valencia region, and there were some small children
just learning the dances who were very cute. They danced to castanettes
and overly loud music played through speakers.
Over all we have found that biking in Spain is horible. There are
still lots of interesting sights and things to do, but I think that if
you are going to come to Spain on bike be prepared to rent a car or take
trains and buses alot of the time.
Now, back to you....
