GOING ABROAD TO
V A L ENCIA, S P A I N
WITH ZACHARY VALENTI
T R AV E L
DRINK
I flew right from RDU to Atlanta. Atlanta to Paris.
Paris to Valencia. Retuning home I left from
Hossegor, France so I only had to go from Paris to
Atlanta. Atlanta to Raleigh.
MIA was definitely the best club in Valencia.
Always good fun, especially because of all the
different rooms with different music. I am not a
big day drinker, but I had the biggest flat out of
all my friends so they would all come over and
pre-drink at my place before going to the clubs.
The drink of choice over there is definitely Gin
or Vodka. Gin Tonic and Vodka Limon (lemon
Fanta) were my go to if I wasn’t drinking beer.

SLEEP

I found a pretty nice flat near the river (the
city diverted the river around town and they
converted the old riverbed into this huge park
that wraps around the city). Technically it’s the
park, but everyone calls it the river and there is
so much activity going on there throughout the
year. My flat was nice and I had a double bed
and a big space since it used to be a living room.
The flat owner just stuffed a bed and a table in
there and called it a room, hence why everyone
was always drinking at my place.
DANCE
EVERYTHING. The clubs in Spain are
ridiculous. Four different rooms each, with their
own specialty of music such as EDM (really
big in Europe), Hip Hop, Reggatone, and then
Classics. The basic salsa dance is easy, its getting
the advanced motions down that is hard.
