Day 3:
We said goodbye to Madrid early in the morning and began our journey toward our next destination, Valencia. Along the way, we stopped in Toledo, famously known as the "City of Three Cultures" for its Christian, Muslim, and Jewish heritage. Our guided walking tour took us through the city's winding medieval streets, offering incredible views of the Tagus River and stunning architecture. After the tour, we had free time to explore on our own. Our team enjoyed a lunch sampling local Spanish cuisine, including Croquetas and Calamares, and found hidden shops with handcrafted souvenirs.
 
From Toledo, we continued our drive to Valencia, arriving in the evening. After checking into our hotel, we wrapped up the day with a group dinner, recharging for a busy schedule ahead.
 
Day 4:
We started the morning off heading to the Port De Valéncia for a catamaran tour on the Mediterranean Sea. The weather was perfect for it—calm waters, sunny skies, and a light breeze. It was a chance to take the coastline from a different perspective and relax before the afternoon's competition. Following the cruise, we enjoyed one of Valencia's signature dishes, Paella, at a group lunch.
 
The rest of the afternoon was spent soaking in the sun at the beach before shifting gears and preparing for our second game of the trip against CC Basketball Academy. The matchup was held at L'Alqueria del Basket, a premier basketball facility in Spain and home to Valencia Basket's teams. It was a fast-paced, competitive contest that tested us in new ways and helped us continue building chemistry on the court.
 
After the game, we had free time for dinner and explored the City of Arts and Sciences—a modern architectural landmark that felt like stepping into the future. From Toledo's historic streets to Valencia's coastal beauty, these two days gave us a taste of Spain's diversity and set the stage for the final leg of our journey in Barcelona.
