Before coming to Spain, we sold our big red van (the Engel lounge) and our car. In Spain, everywhere we go, we must use public transportation, walk, or bike. Sometimes friends find space in their cars for some of us (legally) or all of us (not legally). Fortunately, public transportation in Spain is reasonably priced and widely available.
Not having a car is very liberating. At the same time, it is limiting. We have to be a little more creative and a little more flexible when we plan our outings.
One day, we decided to go to El Saler and Albufera ... a beach and fresh water nature reserve south of Valencia. We rented a few bikes to supplement the ones we have. We were able to follow dedicated bike lanes almost all the way - stopping on the way at a tree covered park for lunch.
