We took the train to Seville. It was a fast train and very nice. There was a huge festival around the city. Each little neighborhood/church had their own altar and they paraded around. There was also an orchestra and everything was decorated with lights and garland, etc. 

We headed back to Valencia and ventured out for dinner for our last night in Valencia (and of course gelato!).

We then visited Sagunto and Sagunto Castle. The castle’s is on a hill and looks out over the town of Sagunto where we had lunch. The history dates back over two thousand years. We enjoyed walking around the remains. We also saw a really cool amphitheater on the way up. There were also Jewish graves…

We did a private tour to a place called Coves de Sant Josep. They were amazing! We took a boat through these caves that were sometimes so low we had to duck our heads. We then get out and walk a small portion of it which is where this bottom picture is from. We were…

We then walked back over to Turia Park. We wanted to visit Gulliver’s park again and Mom had a wonderful idea of taking a quad bike through the park. It really just turned in to a bunch of fighting. Fortunately, we only rented the bike for an hour.

A view of Torres de Serrans from El Micalet We then climbed 207 steps to the the top of El Micalet, which had incredible views of Valencia. This bell tower was built in 1305.

We LOVE crepes! We had them one morning in Valencia and then went back every morning or afternoon. We also tried to find them in Seville and are now on a mission to find them in Denver. We stopped at Plaza de la Virgen for chocolate and strawberry crepes before visiting Valencia Cathedral. This square…

A few more pictures from the top of the towers.

We then walked to Les Torres de Serrans. We walked to the top. Dad stopped about half way up. It was 140 steps to the top. You can see us peaking through on the far side in this bottom picture. 

We visited La Lonja de la Seda to start our next day off. This building was built in 1483.
