June in Valencia



Valencia in June is a wonderful place to be, even if I couldn't quite arrange my holiday to coincide with the European Grand Prix last weekend.....



Five days in Valencia, in a comfortable one bed apartment between the Carmen and the Turia Gardens, half an hour's walk to the other side of the city centre, warm (26-30 deg) and sunny each day - not at all bad.

The highlight came on the first day, Sunday 19th, as without realising I found myself there at just the right time to join in with a massive gathering and march through the city by what must have been tens of thousands. See www.acampadavalencia.net/red-social - a collection of groups against the system, capitalism, the government, and whatever else, and many ordinary people joining in the march on this warm summer evening. So here are a few pictures.
