Agua de Valencia

This is late!

Valencia is famous for its paella and oranges!! (unfortunately, I never got to taste the famous agua de Valencia, which I think is a mixture of champagne and orange juice and vodka)
 Last weekend, I went on a trip to Valencia with the program. The city is like a cross between Alcalá and Barcelona because it's has a bigger city-feel than Alcalá, but it's less "cold" and cosmopolitan than Barcelona. For our tour with Professor Arturo, we visited a lot more cathedrals and towers with beautiful views of the city:

One part of Valencia that's so interesting is the Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias. It's like this futuristic looking group of buildings that has a science museum and Europe's biggest aquarium, El Oceanográfico:
hello there =)
 ...and then my camera ran out of batteries. =(

P.S. SPRING BREAK PEOPLE: Hope all of you are having a GREAT and AMAZING TIME!!! <3
