Yet, curiously, throughout this process a strong Valencian cultural identity emerged in, once again, the City of Contrasts. The locals see themselves as an ethnic kingdom within Spain. What is spectacular, though, is that here the traditional is still very much in fashion, preserved mainly in music, costumes, customs and fiestas. A good third or so of Valencia proudly sports regional costumes (said to be the most colourful in Spain) and music on even the smallest occasion. That includes a lot of youth. Here, it is still cool to be traditional in the 21st century.

Western Europe is such an ultimate travel destination that anything worth seeing has already been triple-packed. It is practically impossible to find a place that has major attractions yet has retained its innocence.

The red rocks of Isla Guadalupe blazed in the morning sun, a clear sky welcoming us after a stomach-churning 14-hour crossing. Lapping waves and the cries of fur seals on the nearby shore were the only sounds to be heard one hundred fifty miles from the mainland. The water roiled as foot-high fins sliced the surface like a knife through cerulean silk. It was a perfect day for a dive.

The Megalithic Temples on the islands Malta og Gozo, dating from 5500 years ago, are the oldest free standing stone structures in the world. These temples there are much older than the Pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge, and their secrets are still well hidden. Previous year I explored the temples Hagar Qim and Mnajdra on Malta, and now it was time for me to explore the two temples of Ggantij on Gozo.

The Azure Window, a table-like rock over the sea, is one of the most amazing natural wonders of the Maltese Islands, and its particularly spectacular during winter when waves crash high inside the arch. The Inland Sea, and Dwejra Bay itself on Gozo, were created millions of years ago when two limestone caves collapsed.

Finally I saw the light! It was like an apocalypse for me entering the discotheques in Riga! I was both blended and fascinated by the colourful flashing lights. Sometimes I got the feeling of floating around in space with twinkling stars all around me. Few things are better than getting lost in an inferno of lights, music, dancing and drinking. I realised soon that the city was more lighten up in the nights than in the sunniest days.
