Home sweet home

Having been born in distant Sri Lanka and with parents of Indian origin, destiny had Valencia reserved for for me and my family as HOME. A peacefull and beautiful city on the eastern cost of the country bathed by the waters of the mediterranian sea, was probably the best place I could have chosen. I have been living here since late 1977 and would not change this place as my home town for any other place in the world. This probably is a sentiment that all of us would have for our home town so no hard feelings. I have travelled to many places in the world, most of them wonderfull destinations for a short stay or a prolonged vacation, but with Valencia, always on my mind.
I would be delighted to assist anybody wanting specific information or help when coming to Valencia.

For the moment let me virtually show you around my city. Hope you like it.
