Today we drove from the Parador of Albacete to Valencia.
Less than 10 miles from Albacete we stopped at the castle of Chinchilla. It is being restored and is not open to visit, but it was fun to walk around the outside. It has a commanding view of the surrounding countryside.
When we arrived in Valencia we checked into our hotel then went for a walk. First we went to the central market. It was getting ready to close for the day so we will probably go back there on Friday.
Next we went to the silk exchange.
While we were eating our tapas dinner all the local stations were covering the enormous apartment building fire that was burning about a mile from where we are staying. The pictures were horrifying.
After dinner we went for another walk.
We are spending two nights in Valencia. It is a nice change to be in the same place for 2 days.
