Valencia (Spain)

Update: Just added pictures in XXL scale. Just have a look if you feel the review is too long to read it all! Thank you. VALENCIA AND "FALLAS" : MUST SEEN I lived in Valencia (Spain) for about 5 years, and I have to say that being Spanish, but from the North, this region has nothing to do with my own region.

So, here I come again to brand a new review, but first I would like to thank you all for the encouragement you gave and still giving me. Thanks, I hope to do my best to write better on your language and to tell you about many interesting themes. Today I’ve chosen to write about the city of Valencia, the place I’m connecting with you from, so Valencia is a nice city located at the east of Spain. First I’ll start talking about all the community of Valencia, it is characterized by its diverse climate, as we can find the see at the most of the east, and some forests a little bit at the west.
