Congrats that sounds awesome. I haven't been to Valencia (its in Spain right? lol) but they shoudl be able to understand you. Have you studied Spanish (as spoken in Mexico) or Castellano (the "version" of spanish spoken in Spain)? Either way, there are going to be some discrepancies with the way words are said, but overall everything should be good. Just remember to try not to speak English. My history teacher in high school (who is Mexican) went to Spain for vacation and went into a restaurant/bar thing and spoke English was look frowned upon. No one wanted to talk to him or anything, so a day or so later he came back, spoke Spanish and was treated so kindly. The Spanish knew he wasn't from Spain, but being from Mexico was (i guess) more desirable than being from America.
Hope you have a lot of fun!!!
