Today was a free day before starting the language course on Monday. We got up quite late then headed down to see what the beach was like. It was warm today too!, only a t-shirt needed...even a bit uncomfortable to wear jeans! Here are some pictures of the beach and habour, etc:
After looking around Grau de Gandia, we headed over to Gandia City, but actually it wasn't much different. Lots of shops closed, maybe winter season quietness, and the fact it was Sunday. We'll come back another day - expecting Valencia to be a lot more lively.
In the evening we searched around for a restaurant, ending up in a pizzeria called El Picillo. Despite not understanding most of the ingredients on the menu, and getting laughed at by the waitress, we managed to order okay! So our group consisted of me, a German, a Swiss and two Italians. Eating pizzas with the Italians was amusing - they keep analysing and comparing them to their own...this pizza scored just 2/10! Haha.
We watched some of the football between Valencia and Villareal (Spanish league) in the restaurant. Someone set off a loud banger outside the place when Valencia scored...is this standard?? - a good way to let everyone know there was a goal haha. The final score was 2-1 Valencia. It seems the Spanish are really love football...almost every TV channel in our apartment showed football highlights last night (not complaining at all here..!)
Hasta manana!
