ALENCIA SUMTER visited two fascinating ports in Spain, Almeria and Valencia. Almeria is a fa- mous summer resort town, well knoum for its great variety of excellent seafood and is also home to Little Hollywood, where many of the Spaghetti Westems are filmed. The city's waterfront is dominated by a spectacular Moorish castle. Valencia is an exciting city on the eastem coast of Spain in the Aragonian region. Fa- mous forthe Lladro factory and the world's best oranges, Valencia welcomed SUMTER with open anns. An active USO and friendly people helped the crew and Marines feel part of the busy city's late night life. The Department of Defense sponsored band BLUE MAX heated up a chilly night on the flight deck with a variety of rock music. 1 'as 1.
