Valencia - Malaga

Southern Spain is still warm! How about that. I'm currently sitting out on the terrace drinking a cerveza enjoying the sun. Where am I doing this? Malaga, Spain. After here, I'm going even further south, so hopefully I can follow the warmth for at least another week.

Valencia was amazing. Quite a surprising little place (3rd largest city in Spain, so I'm not sure about little). Shockingly beautiful place. There was a river that ran through the city, it was redirected awhile back and the entire riverbed was made into a park that stretches for miles. Towards one end of the park is L'Oceanogràfic, which is the largest complex of its type in all of Europe with 45,000 animals of 500 different species. Who would have known! The whole complex looks like it is out of movie. Had a bicycle while I was there and went all over the city and outer regions. It was really nice to just go for miles along the ocean. Loved it.

Unfortunately it's definitely off-season in southern Spain right now. The hostels are getting less and less crowded.

I've been all around Malaga today. It was nice and warm all morning and early afternoon, but as soon as the sun starts to go down a little, it gets a little chilly for sure. The place I'm staying is quite nice. It's across the street from the ocean, the terrace faces the ocean and it's going to be a beautiful sunset tonight. And that was a little awkward as a paraglider just flew right next to the building... maybe that's tomorrow's activity :)
