652. Valencia Orange (Valencia, Spain)
Lunch stop in a pretty park near the Museum of Fine Arts in Valencia, Spain

A "travelin' light"* Valencia Orange seemed like the easiest stamp to make for this particular stop of ours in Spain. To be sure, orange trees can be found in parks all around town here, but we picked the park closest to the Museo de Bellas Artes on San Pius V just southeast of the 12th century Torres de Serrano across the greenway created from the Turia River. Enter through the first gate that is south of the museum, turn left on the path just past the first larger tree on your left and sit on the cement bench to your left. Half left you should now be looking at green lantern #32, the top of which cuddles into the oranges of the nearby tree. At the base behind that lamppost under a half brick near the hedge huddles a 1" rounded stone with a very small orange on the back of it.

*"Travelin' lights" are what we call the little stones with stamps glued on back that we have been planting for the last few years after we got tired of planting over 500 traditional boxes and having so many of them "go missing". We hope that these little stones are more likely to blend in with the environment and less likely to get picked up and thrown away as trash (although, of course, they may still get moved around by natural or unnatural processes, like raking, mowing, etc.), so just remember that for our "traveling' lights", you're looking for a tiny stone and not an actual box!
