Report from Valencia
Imagine a little big city where you can breathe, walk for miles on a river bed that has been turned into a garden, with some beautiful modern buildings together known as the 'city of science and arts´ where the old city has Moorish buildings, where there are no crowds, the people polite, the weather perfect, miles of sandy beach. Can such a place be? The answer is yes, and it is Valencia on the Mediterranean coast. After the crowds and jostling and aging metro of Paris, what a change! Just outside the airport you will see olive groves, lush agricultural lands and I am also told orange groves.

Sounds fabulous!
It's a pity that you'll have to pack your bags and return to the big, barren Bengalooru!
"the people polite, the weather perfect, miles of sandy beach"
-- wow, sounds like Chennai. Well, ok, let's say Mahabalipuram....
Indeed, Mahabalipuram has always been a stress-buster. I guess the moment you leave any of our mega-cities in any direction, the people do become more polite.
