Firstly, as
we drew into La Vall in the late evening, the warm welcome we received from the
host families waiting patiently in the bus station, the trips to historic towns
with beautiful castles perched up above, one high up in the mountains, where
the temperature dropped by some degrees, our breath rising up in the chilly air,
the second one a seaside town with a castle overlooking the bright blue Mediterranean,
a tour round an orange packing factory (interesting to see what the oranges that
we buy in our local supermarkets have to go through), a walk round a nature
reserve in the sun, a visit to the Science Museum in Valencia after a walk round
the centre of town, the cathedral, The Silk Exchange, a foray into the
impressive Central Market, with wonderful foodie sights to behold and a day in
school during which we were welcomed into lessons. Just a
snapshot of some of the wonderful things to which we were treated.
It is time
now to think ahead to the return visit. So, we’ll all be there at Queen Street
at approximately 22. 30 on January 14th to give the Spaniards a very
warm welcome! There is no way that we can compete with the fantastic 20-plus
degrees in the Spanish sun, quite the contrary!
Tell your partners to bring warm coats and gloves and lend them an
umbrella! However, despite our terrible weather, we can make sure that they
have the best possible trip to England and that they enjoy it as much we did our
visit to Spain.
