True, False, Not Given

On our last vacation we went to Spain. We hired a car and drove

from Madrid to Cadiz in the south then along the coast all the
way to Barcelona. Along the way we spent 5 days in Granada
where we visited the Alhambra Palace and several museums.
Then we stopped off in Valencia where we tried paella, the local
food, which is made of rice, saffron, meat and seafood. In
Barcelona we went to the Camp Nou stadium and watched a
football match.

On our last vacation we spent an amazing time in Spain. We
hired a pathetically tiny car and drove far too slowly from the
exciting capital Madrid to the historical port of Cadiz in the south
then along the spectacular coast all the way to Barcelona. Along
the way we spent 5 fantastic days in Granada where we visited
the magnificent, unmissable Alhambra Palace and several rather
dull museums. Then we stopped off in Valencia where we tried a
pretty unpleasant paella, the local food, which is made of rice,
saffron, meat and seafood. In Barcelona we went to the Camp
Nou stadium and gleefully watched the locals thrash Real Madrid
5-0. Result!
