Sant Jordi, Valencia, Spain

I like winter in the mountains in France for its sporting activities and on sunny days going from the city to the countryside in Spain where I am happy with each day that passes... The human scale of the locality allows constructive exchanges with locals which helps to restore a little our image as "condescending" foreigners according to what the Spanish give me as information. I thus prove to them that we must not generalize or else I am an exception!
My Spanish neighbors who helped me on several occasions despite the language barrier still being a bit marked. Proximity with elected officials since we can even call our mayor (alcalde) by Whatsapp with a systematic response. Calm and security in this golf course with a guard post at the entrance, a closed enclosure and permanent patrols.
The many French-speaking foreigners who come on vacation to conquered territory in the complex where I live, not interested in enriching themselves with Spanish culture but more inclined to be condescending with the Spanish staff... It scandalizes me every time!
