So yesterday evening I arrived in Valencia - I could have stayed another night at the apartment in Gandia, but there was no reason to - most people had already left. I visited the room the previous day to get the keys. The area is really nice, just off the lively Blasco Ibanez and next to the Plaza del Xuguer, a square garden area with restaurants all around - full of students! I'll upload a few pics of the street later, but here are some of the flat:
No-one else was home - they went to a club called Soul Gandhara in the city centre, about 5 minutes taxi away, so I think the location is good, right next to the Universities, and half way between the beach and city centre. I used the night to get a decent sleep, without waking up bloody cold like for the past two weeks.
I keep randomly seeing other Erasmus students from Gandia around the area - so most people are within 5-10 minutes walking distance - really good.
I properly feel like I'm in Spain now, with Spanish/Spanlish!/Italian speaking housemates, the Italian seems to speak really good Spanish from the first semester - hope I'll be the same. It's really good living with students from the first semester - they know where everything is, the shops, the trips, how to get to places, etc
Today was a chill day - I stayed in most of the time with the housemates, realised it was almost impossible to buy food on Sundays, except finding one 24/7 place just around the corner.
Not sure what we'll do tonight - maybe meet up with some erasmuses...we'll see...
