I
live in a city of somewhere around 800,000 inhabitants, not small and not too
big. Valencia is a sophisticated metropolis with an excellent public transportation
system and wonderful rail connections via the high-speed Spanish network of AVE.
It’s not like I’m living in the sticks, yet the moment I arrive in Madrid,
I’m simply overwhelmed by its immensity, the masses of people, the bustling
metro, and the endless expanse of cool neighborhoods.
