A wonderful school trip


Last year, my classmates and I visited Valencia. It’s a big, beautiful Spanish city
by the sea. We travelled by train and by bus. We stayed there for six days (from
Sunday to Friday) and we enjoyed ourselves so much!
We arrived at Valencia railway station at 8 a.m. and there was a tour guide
waiting to take us to the hotel by bus. On that day, we visited the Central Market
and the Cathedral, in the historical centre of the city. After that, we tried “paella”,
a typical Spanish dish, at a traditional restaurant. It was delicious!
On the next three days, we visited an exhibition at “Torres de Serranos”. What a
great view! We walked along the parks and bridges in the City of Arts and
Sciences. We stopped at the Planetarium and at Prince Felipe Museum of
Science. It is an interactive museum where we learned about science.
Then we also sailed in the small boats on the lake.
Look at the pictures that I posted. Isn’t it a beautiful place?
Check my other photos! It’s a must visit.
We returned home on Friday, after visiting one of the biggest
1 2
European orange orchards . Those oranges were so juicy and tasty…
By the end of the trip, we were tired but it was a great experience!

Word check: 1orange orchard = laranjal; 2juicy = sumarentas.
