Day 6 – Thu 29 Mar 07

We checked out of the hotel after breakfast. Here's our itinerary for the day:

Torres de Serranos (Serranos Tower) - This is a gateway from the late medieval defensive wall.

Lonja de la Seda - The Silk Exchange is considered one of Europe's most beautiful examples of Gothic civil architecture. It comprises four parts: the Tower, the Sea Consulate Room, the Orange-tree Patio and the Room of Columns. The site covers more than 2,000 sq m indoors and out.

Cathedral of Valencia - stands in the same place where the first temple of the Roman city was erected, and later, an Arab mosque.

Museum of the Fallas - keeps the "ninots" (papier mâché figures) which have been spared from burning in the annual Valencia fire festival since 1934, and other elements that illustrate the history of the Fallas

After collecting our luggages from the hotel, we headed for the train station. The train to Córdoba was delayed and arrived only at 0130 hr. We were frozen in the partly covered train station and the temperature must have dipped to below 5 degrees. We were not dressed for the weather!
