Just a quick "rant"... Sunday gone was the annual Valencia Marathon, the whole city was closed off basically and I had to get from one side to the other for a birthday lunch.
No buses reached where I lived or where I needed to go. So it was an adventure in the car! Now the only website (so it appears) that has the full route map on was the Marathon´s own official page, which on Sunday wasn´t working! typical.
The bus website mentioned practically every street in Valencia listing the affected areas, and I found a map for the 10km which was running alongside, but that map showed streets that weren´t mentioned on the Bus page.
It took me 20 minutes to get out of my barrio, along with everyone else trying to get out, then finally by going right around the outskirts and winding my way through areas I didn´t even know existed (thankfully I had a Valencian with me) I managed to get to my destination. 1 hour for a normally 15 minute drive.
Anyway.. I believe the Valencia Marathon was very succesful and the website is now up and running..
http://www.maratondivinapastoravalencia.com and if you visit the site, I can recommend watching the video, quite clever!
