We woke up early in the morning to catch the bus to Valencia, Spain. This city is known to be modern man in technology and science. It has two major museums that show the different and unique projects created by Spanish scientists. We arrived early in the morning and talked around this beautiful park where you could do lots of activities, such as riding water scooters, canoes and water balls. The park was full of life with families enjoying a picnic and live music with food stands and souvenirs.
As we walked by the park and all these beautiful stands, we got to see a particular movie theater. It was round like the moon and it looked similar to a spaceship. People were able to go in and watch some movies and the experience was totally different from a typical theater in the United States.
After exploring the park, we headed to the old town of Valencia where we got to walk the small streets full of life, food, music and people. We learn about the history of Valencia during the conquest of the Catholic kings Isabel and Fernando. Also, we were able to see one of the most beautiful and visited churches in Spain. It was magical. It had so many rooms and historical objects, for instance – gold cups, music books, bibles, clothes and gold crowns. Being able to see all these rooms and artifacts was incredibly impressive because you heard the history while you saw it with your own eyes. It is a magical and unforgettable experience.
This trip was full of different eras from the modern part of Valencia where we were able to see more technology and science, along with the older part of the city with so much history and beautiful places. To end the trip, we enjoyed an ice cream and some tapas just like everyday in Spain!
