Dear Katia, I am so glad to hear from you. I am so exited to see that you are planning to visit my hometown, Valencia. I am sure that you will love this magical and cozy city.

As you would probably guess, I am writing to you this letter to let you know some of the most important points. First, and not less important, I carried out a large research to find some place for you to sleep. I found Hotel Colon, situated in the city’s historical centre. My cousin Ana works there, so I really know that the hotel has one of the best price-quality relationship taking into account its services and location. The staff also is so nice and helpful.

As regards the places to visit, as you are staying for 3 nights, I would recommend you to spend all these days in Valencia. I have sent you a word document via email, so you can check it out. Mainly, focus on trying the most famous typical food, and not forget to visit the Albufera to see the sunset, going to the main cathedrals and squares, and taking a dip into the Malvarrosa Beach.

Talking about clothes, I think preparing your suitcase will not be a big deal, as the climate in October is warm, so do not forget to take some t-shirts, a swimsuit, a pair of jeans, and a denim jacket.

I am sure you will have an amazing time. Do not doubt to write me if you have some doubt. Kind regards.
