YOUR TRIP TO VALENCIA



Suggested Baggage

Here are a few suggestions of things to pack in your baggage that we think will ensure you make the most of your stay:

- Clothes: light fabrics and summer items for the warm Mediterranean weather.
- Beach apparel: swimsuit, beach towel, sunscreen, etc.
- One change of smart(er) clothes for the closing night out; nothing fancy, some night clubs ask for a smart-casual dress code.
- A notebook and a few colored pencils or pens.
- A laptop, in case you want to follow some of the computational workshops.
- A musical instrument, if possible; there will be keyboards, drums and percussion instruments at the jam.
