Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26 and I'll present today's edition of Travel Digest. In our featured posts, we have a coastal town of Sandnessjoen, Norway, an open-air museum in Mellieha, Malta, and a plaza in Valencia, Spain. Enjoy and keep on pinning your travel posts to the map!
The next day, Anni drove us to the Sandnessj酶en port and on to Tj酶ta. We crossed the Helgeland Bridge, a striking cable-stayed bridge that connects the island to the mainland. It is a massive and lengthy structure, built over two years, starting in 1989 and completed in 1991. The bridge spans 1,065 meters, with 12 sections, the longest of which measures 425 meters. Its maximum clearance above the sea is 45 meters, and its foundations extend to a depth of 31 meters. Constructed from pre-stressed and reinforced concrete along with steel cables, the bridge showcases impressive architecture by Norwegian designers. We stopped for a while to admire this remarkable feat of engineering.

I will continue to share with you guys our family adventure in Malta. One of the places we visited was Popeye Village.
After visiting some historical places, ancient temples and breathtaking coastal areas. And it was nice to see something completely different named Popeye Village. The place looked like a storybook village beside the breathtaking Mediterranean sea.

Another stop on our Spain trip took us straight into the heart of old Valencia, to Plaza de la Reina and the streets around the Cathedral. This is the kind of square that shows up in almost every postcard of the city, and once you are actually standing in it, it is easy to understand why. We got there in the late afternoon planning to just pass through on the way to dinner, and ended up staying for hours, watching the square change from a soft grey afternoon into a golden sunset and finally into a quiet, lit up night scene. It sits right at the edge of the Barrio del Carmen, the oldest and most tangled part of the city, so it also works perfectly as a starting point for getting a little lost in the surrounding lanes afterward.
