"Valencia - Sunny Spain - Welcome to my page" MaheshSamtani's Profile


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.

    I'm sorry, I have not logged in to this site in a while and saw the notification that your birthday is "tomorrow" - but I just saw that it was actually in October. So I will change my statement to say, I hope you had a great birthday!
