Amazing food scene, cheap tapas if you stray from tourist streets, but a few places felt overpriced.

Dois dias pareceram apressados, três a quatro noites dão tempo para a cidade velha, a praia e um almoço de paella preguiçoso.

Sun, paella and a relaxed vibe, Turia gardens were my favorite walk, but summer crowds are brutal.
