Ended up sticking with St. Patrick’s, as St. Martin’s never got back to me. Plus, got the No.92 bus from the beach, which stopped almost right outside.
Got a good seat, and it was all ok, apart from oddly a sizeable number of Irish Newcastle fans who chatted shite throughout the game. If City had managed a winner it would’ve been sweet, but it wasn’t to be.
Really enjoyed our time here, probably helped by the fact that the Mrs is a native speaker (Latin America), the kids are fairly fluent, and I can get by. Didn’t know Valencia also has a separate language, which was a bit confusing at first.
Found the public transport great value and very prompt (8 Euros for 10 trips, no matter the length - amazing!). This was essential for us, as we were staying with friends in Benicalap, on the edge of the city.
