This is the first part of a 7 part post describing a day in Valencia, Spain. I hope you enjoy! 🙂
I’m not sure if I am running from something or simply entertaining my desire to find out what this city is really like.

I’m not chasing that experience per se, but the city in which it happened. It’s time to open my eyes to the city, a city with which I did, if only for a brief moment, fall in love.
