teruel was clear, and of course there was nothing in Valencia. It was a pleasure to be able to sit outside in the winter sun there!
We went to the Cathedral, our first visit. This is the chapel of the Holy Grail-you can see it in the middle. It was sent there from Aragón in the middle ages.
In the museum there were lots of things, the one which really struck me was this unrepentant thief, which must have been one of three crosses.
Then we paid another €2 and went up the tower, which is known as the Micalet after the biggest of its bells. 207 steep steps up a narrow winding staircase; there were red and green lights top and bottom to restrict the traffic to one direction at a time, although it wasn't completely effective. It was a hard climb, but the view at the top was great, and the clock struck twelve while we were there; the Micalet was struck twelve loud times!
