INFORMAL LETTER (in reply to a friend) Dear John, I would be delighted to suggest you places to visit here in Valencia and I hope you have such a great time in the city. I’m terribly sorry not to have written you earlier but I’ve been up to my eyes in work. As you can know, Valencia is a huge place so in such a short time it won’t be possible to get to visit everything. However, I’ll try to help you to decide. That’s why, without any doubt, my first recommendation is visiting the beach without hesitation! Beaches here, especially Malvarrosa’s coast, are gorgeous. Besides, I have to admit my favourite moment is at dawn, when the sun casts a dim glow over the sea and the sand. Not only are beaches wonderful but also landmarks, as the City of Arts and Science, the “Bioparc” or the cathedral. You asked me about things to do and I have to say it’s hard to know where to begin. Firstly, in the City of Arts and Science hundreds of interesting discoveries and theories will come just out of the blue. Secondly, at the “Bioparc”, you will have the opportunity to see animals you might not have ever had the chance to watch, such as lions, elephants, and dauphins. Finally, if I were you I would absolutely visit the cathedral to get close to Spanish religion and tradition. Well, I’d better stop now. Give me a call as soon as you arrive, I’m really looking forward to seeing you in one month. All the best, Lorena
