Valencia 4K (Spain) Driving Scenic Route from Patacona (Alboraya) to El Saler (2024)

Take a seat next to me in my van and drive with me from Patacona Beach in Alboraya (just outside Valencia) to Playa El saler, in the north of Valencia.
We will drive past the University of Valencia building, through the famous Cabanyal area , past El Corte Ingles, onto the even more famous City of Arts and Sciences (Ciudad de las Arte4s y las Ciencias). We drive over the Assut de l'Or Bridge - to the left you will clearly see the iconic L'Agora and to the right the Museu de Ciencies Principe Felipe.
After that, it is a short motorway drive CV500 to Playa El Saler, where we stop at a van park-up that has a good ranking on the Park4Night app.
So sit back, listen to some relaxing music and enjoy the magnificent scenery and landscapes...
This is part of my #vanlife channel. I was asked if I could also show the roads I am driving on, the routes I am taking - as many of you might not be able to get to Spain (or my other destination). And instead of me talking to camera and talking - I am today just showing you my POV of this weekend's drive
Hopefully you are enjoying this journey of discovering vanlife as much as I am and I am managing to show you just some of the trial and tribulations when starting living in a small stealth-like van, whilst also showing you life and landscapes that Spain has to offer in this "seeking winter sun" travel vlog.
Because I am newbie, I am trying to include a bit of everything, some scenery mixed, talking - with my usual solo male van life dry humour.
I always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let me know what you love / like / or would like to see/hear differently, and as always, thank you for watching!
Follow me on my journey as I attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as I, a solo male traveler and vanlifer, attempt to travel across Europe in my tiny home on wheels.

I like these videos when I m working. I like seeing landscapes or cities with relaxing music for calming down or like diving into my thoughts. These allow me to concentrate to be honest. I cannt with music!

I watched a Japanese video last night with 3m hits no talking just captioned, i found it to be interesting to see this country/ I needed something more from Deans video and skipped parts as I found it boring, can we have some talking or captions on this video and re show it again kind regards van critic x

[@jackvandean]

I wonder what was on the japanese captions that made it so interesting ?
