No longer a daily blog but some notes for our history and possibly the readers.
-three times fire alarm woke whole hotel; smoke from kitchen worked its way up; other story was someone set off fireworks in the disco;
-shower leaks from ceiling, a new one;
-QB sleeping on side; yeah.
-silk museum, QB. (Two scarves ). Again a shout out to Jerome;
-walking about, everyone everywhere eating on a Sunday; all day, all hours
Seen on the street, off to the Levant.
– Didi pastelería: impressive and busy place.
El Corte Ingles tax free form was very complicated. Wanted credit card, but digital only so no visible number, and needed physical card, but it has a different number. Seguro explained. Failed.
Paella at Arroz in the hotel; very high end. Had Fideua and paella. Appetizer: Tomatoes, peppers, pine nuts, tuna and garlic; of course oil. Surprisingly to me at least is that I liked the rice version better than the fideua.
Air quality in Valencia terrible. QB with breathing problems outside as well as in.

Tax avoidance is not for the feint of heart! And after all the Spanish taxpayers did for Sharon, you shouldn’t begrudge them some Value Added Tax….
QB upon hearing your wise words replied “we have paid our hotel bill”
Duck looks VERY rare indeed.
Have you learned the cause of poor air quality? Industrial emissions, forest fires, traffic smog…?
No industry. Asked the desk: cars. My guess, some amount of temperature inversion common. Have not had the TV on since we left so no data from weather people. Duck was good according to QB, just on the edge of being too rare.
