IN LOVE WITH VALENCIA
Sep 5
Now in July, throughout the whole of Spain, but especially en Valencia, there’s a special person who’s present in our lives. It’s the sun, our loved friend Lorenzo. I don’t know why he’s got this name but when I was a child me grandmother Luisa used to tell me a story which I have told my students a few times.
Lorenzo, the sun, was in love. He was so much in love that he shone very strong to show the humans how much he was in love with the moon, the beautiful and white Catalina. But at the same time he shone all his anger because he could hardly ever see his beloved.
SUMMER IN VALENCIA
Sep 5
I’ve been living in Valencia for nearly four years now, but that’s the first summer I’m spending in the city from the beginning to the end. What’s my conclusion? It’s wonderful living here in this time of year.
In the morning I don’t have to wait much in the queue of the bakery, either at the bar where I take my fast coffee at about 9.15. Get out of work means go for a walk in the sun; yeah, our “friend Lorenzo” becomes very strong in July and August, and somebody pure from the North like me get fried like a chicken in the oven.
