    Our visit to Valencia coincided with the Valencia marathon. This annual event has been running since 1981 and by the looks of the number of participants, it is a pretty popular event on the marathon calendar.

    The runners crossed the city, causing traffic chaos due to all of the closed off roads. We happened to be walking along the route for about 30 minutes, and it was amusing to see all of the police officers controlling traffic - letting cars cross over closed roads when there was a break in the runners, signally frantically for the drivers to move as quickly as possible.

    I was very glad that we had chosen to walk that day, instead of taking the bus and it would have taken us a whole lot longer.

    To all those marathon runners out there, check out the website for more details.

     Great Valencia pages Sue. I booked the Vinnci Lys on your recommendation, so if it "sucks" you will be cursed with warm beer forever :-) Best regards, Karl

     Great tips on Valencia, Sue. It sure looks like a great place to visit on a cold, gray day here in Germany! :) I'm very much looking forward to seeing this city in another month. Cheers! Brian

     Looks a great destination for a weekend break. I like the mix of old & new architecture. The hotel looks perfect and I love the sound of the Mercado. Quality restaurant tips too, as always :)
