Most things are closed today except for the businesses downtown that have great views of the parade and the other events. They have doubled their prices today haha. King James the First of Aragon reclaimed Valencia for Christianity on October 9th, 1238. At 12 this afternoon the flag was lowered from a decorated balcony.
Thousands of people gathered in the historic square of Valencia while music was played, flags were waved, and protesters yelled. All in all very exciting. Valencian pride was running rampant as people draped in flags and paint followed the procession throughout the city. It turned out that navigating through the crowd on my bike was very difficult.
There were a bunch of really cool pictures that I took. If your interested I will be posting all of my photos here: http://picasaweb.google.com/michaeljbarkman
