At the time I blew through Valencia, they were gearing up for the America’s cup. Althought I stayed there two nights, I spent very little time exploring the city. Next time, for sure.
I had all but given up on finding work here. Nonetheless, I’ve stubbornly continued to apply for jobs in Spain, despite now being on a farewell tour (the only thing to disappoint me more than not finding work here, would be to have not seen the country as well). Now, I’m happy to say the effort has paid off.
