Day 5: The Royal Palace!



Today we went to the Royal Palace that is in Valencia. It was so pretty inside and awesome to see what it was like to live there! There were beautiful chandeliers in almost every room! Each of them were very different as well as every ceiling was painted or had pretty architecture! The second picture is just a little glimpse of what the kitchen looked like back then. It was small, but cute! This room had a very pretty chandelier that was different colors! By far my favorite! The bottom picture is the bedroom that we saw. It was a small bedroom, but I thought it was very pretty!
Today we also got to visit the supermarket that they had there! It was huge and very much different from the supermarket at home! There were different sections for different kinds of food. They had a meat section with mainly ham in it; as you have read before, Spain loves their ham! They had a fruit section that was by far my favorite! They had the best cherries and strawberries! I have never tasted a strawberry that was so sweet until today!


The rest of the day we got to explore this part of the Valencia and shop as we please! It was so fun to just wonder around the town and find new things as well as getting lost! I feel like getting lost opens the doors to finding new awesome things that we would have never found if we just stuck to the areas we were familiar with! Today we also got to experience riding the underground metro system! I thought it was fun to ride underground! I feel like riding the metro and walking around we get to really experience what it is like to live here in Valencia as well as to experience their culture!
Tomorrow we are off to Barcelona to see the Sagrada Familia!
