Bought a ticket to Valencia, Spain for three weeks in June. I have been there one other time 10 years ago but I was in Basque country. I am going alone and it's my first time travelling alone. My plan is to visit 3 different small coastal towns and just hang out for 1 week each and to just hang out at the beach, walk around, read, do a bit of work (research), and eat good food. I have no desire for partying or doing dumb touristy shit. I'm pretty autistic and don't drink so meeting people is probably not going to happen.What should I expect?
>>2872270Damn, shoulda waited until August. You're gonna miss the eclipse
>>2872321August is peak tourist season and it would be unbearably hot.
>>2872270You sound like an NPC. No hobbies, no odd fixation, no higher purpose. Just walk around, read, do a bit of work. What difference does it make if you travel to Valencia verses doing this at home?
>>2872270Too long in each place. You could do a circuit of the entire country in that time.
hijacking this thread: I'll be in Santiago de Compostela for the Easter weekend (arriving on Friday, leaving on Monday). What are some cool things to do there during Easter? I'll try to go to mass at the cathedral, though I'm guessing on Sunday it will be impossible to get in. Anything else? Any typical food to try there for Easter?
>>2872418To the contrary, what's the point of staying at "home" - i.e. your rental apartment in Randomville, USA: Population 35,584 - when you could be living a life of mundane self-satisfaction in a thousand other places?
>>2873652>what's the point of staying at "home"It's cheaper and that's where my family is. That anon is 100% right, travelling as an autist is pointless unless you're going there for a specific purpose. Meandering like a drone is not. Not that normgroid travel is any better.
>>2872321That’s next year and Valencia is too far north. For totality your best spots are Gibraltar, Ceuta, Melilla, Tangier, and Oran.
>>2872270Spain has a pretty decent train system (never mind the fatal hi-speed train accident we just had lol) and every major city has a bunch of smaller cities around it that are worth a visit. I don't know about Valencia, but from Madrid you have Toledo and Segovia, just under an hour away by train. From Barcelona there's a ton, Sitges, Tarragona, Girona, anything on the coast north of Barcelona. You don't have to interact with anyone to use the train, just buy your ticket online and bring a book for the ride. Have fun, anon!
>>2873687You clearly prefer the womblike comfort of the family home(town) to the challenging self-reliance of solo travel in strange faraway places. Fine. Enjoy it while you can. But don't go saying that travel is pointless simply because the prospect of figuring out how to live alone in a strange place is too daunting for you to envision.
