As i was the only guest and the owner had gone I let myself out of the hotel and made an earlyish start on the road. The road to Valencia was covered in Orange trees and had been fought over for many years due for its fertile lands. The skies were a bit grey this morning and by the time I hit Benicassim it had started to rain slightly. I stopped in the centre of the town for lunch. It was nice to go to a cade in the main town for lunch and enjoyed olives, jamon serrano and manchego cheese under covers. Benicassim was different to the resorts I had passed through and it thankfully had trees which made a town so much nicer. The rain never really happended and I pushed on with little of merit to distract. I stopped off in a trucker cafe and enjoyed a lovely selection tapas for virtually nothing. Valencia started about 15km from the centre and it was dark by the time I reached the hotel that I had selected from the rough guide. After checking in I had a look around and was delighted to discover that the town had a great selection of bars and restaraunts to celebrate the news of the birth of my brothers new son "Harry Joseph".
