Lynn and Nick in Europe, 2009

Valencia, 26-29 September

		Tiles are often used for decoration in Valencia. †
		Even for notices... †
		And for street signs. †
		But not always in very good repair. †
		Detail of the Art Deco central market building. *
		Interior of the old Silk Market. *
		Silk Market columns and ceiling. *
		Statue of the Virgin on a nearby church. †
		And a gargoyle of a devil. †
		Church of Santa Maria on a rather damp day. †
		Detail of the porch. †
		Fountain in the square by Santa Maria. †
		Our daughter-in-law, Christine Garcia, making the most of the wet weather. **
		Decoration in a shopping arcade. †
		The railway station is a remarkable Art Deco building... *
		with mosaics in its interior decoration... *
		and stained glass windows. *
		*
		Perhaps the most remarkable architecture in Barcelona is the City of Arts and Sciences, built in the bed of a river that has been diverted away from the city. *

Then onwards by rental car to Granada.
