We haven't been doing a lot anyway, so these will be mostly photo dumps--with some explanation of course--of what I've seen while walking around town.
Turia Fountain, Plaza of the Virgin
Ceramic Plaque, Church of St. Lorenzo
Borja Palace. During the Spanish Civil War, it was the HQ of the Republican government. Now it's the seat of government of the Valencia Region.
All the photos above were taken in the Old Town. I walked across the Serranos Bridge over the Turia Garden, a linear park that wraps around Valencia. It was created from the dry riverbed of the relocated Turia River. This part of town is more residential and modern, but there are still things to see.

They used to pour hot oil on invaders through this opening. Luckily, I made it through.
Lebanese tea and sweet shop. Good thing I left my wallet at the apartment.
Another Valencia door
Fountain in the Plaça del Negret
This is Rosita Amores, a famous Valencian cabaret performer. In a paella pan.
That's it for today, but don't worry. I'll be playing the wandering tourist again tomorrow.
