València

I went to Mayhem comedor vegano popular (popular vegan lunch) that occurs every sunday...
Poster's in mayhem:
"the problem is not the shit contracts but the shit that contract us"
"revolution it's like a circle, you can start it anywhere and will never finish...."
I stayed there talking and playing some games and by the night went to have a tea with Rita ;)

València

In the morning I went with mireia to help recycle in the local market.... most of the vendors are already used to it and know that they organize a popular lunch every sunday in the social centre... most of them were really nice and we could skip a lot of vegetables
We had lunch in Mayhem where there was a macrobiotic kitchen workshop and amazing food :D
Proyecto Mayhem concert room
Around 18:00 I went to a protest against police repression where we distribuct flyers about the capitalist policement and about the police repression on carnival in Benimaclet (a public square)
In the night we went partying with mar, clara and edu to Plaza del Cedro, it's really nice the way spontaneously every one get together in all city gardens to drink and talk instead of going to expensive bars :p

As rita recently moved to this house and I was sleeping in the living room I decided to contact Mireia, a contact from a CSO i got in Alcoy...

I met her and some friends in CSO Proyecto Mayhem we played cards and then went to other squat El Nido, a small space with a alternative publisher with lots of music, books and fanzines... a nice place to drink a juice :p

Cárcer -> València

Waked up under heavy rain...waited for 3 hours inside the tent waiting...as the rain wasn't stopping I packed everything under rain and start pedaling direction Valencia, stopped in a funny house with a sign "pull here to open the door" and used the fireplace to dry a little...

Lost 3 hour in the last 10 km to enter Valencia as there are 2 or 3 different highways entering the city and I couldn't find the normal street...

finally I met Rita, a friend from Porto who is studying here, and stayed in her house drying and sleeping :D

Aielo de Malferit -> Carcér

65 caterpillars walking the street :p..
I cycled north all day... mostly by sand paths and agriculture streets as there is mainly only highways to Valencia and few signs...
I got lost a lot in a huge orange field... Finally, after trying to avoid the highway almost all day I camped in an abandoned orange field and watched the magic of nature around fire, green and oranges :D

Alcoy -> Aielo de Malferit

Wake up early to prepare everything and get out of El Potro, in the way I join a march against the highway planed to pass la Valleta one of the last valleys not conquered by the asphalt in this region...
The image “http://profile.ak.facebook.com/object3/282/112/n36351563118_4108.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Around 11:00 i finally found them and start walking, with around 400 people, from Bocairent to Agres following a beautiful path surrounded by agriculture camps and nature of the valley
In the end I finally said goodbye (again) to the friends i made in Alcoy and cycled till it started raining a bit and I found a nice house to camp...
where i mount my tent ;)
