Geocache Description:


espanol:
Durante nuestro estudio Erasmus en Valencia con frecuencia estabamos en este jardin muy bonito. Entonces decidimos sacar un geocache aqui.
Tienes que dar una vuelta para buscar los soluciones del cache y encontrar los coordenadas finales.
Horario del jardin: todos los dias de 8:00 a la puesta del sol.



english:
During our Erasmus time in Valencia we often have been to this beautiful park. So we decided that we have to hide a geocache here.
It is a mystery cache, so you have to take a walk and look around in the park to find the solution of the questions and get the final coordinates.
Opening Hours: every day, 8am to sunset.

















espanol:

1) Es necesario preparar este cache antes de ir a las coordenadas! Leed detenidamente las instrucciones!
2) Las coordenadas mostradas no son las coordenadas finales donde se esconde el cache!




Fase 1: Las coordenadas del encabezado os llevaran a un lugar cercano a una estatua (imagen: Stage 1 ==> Hay una foto!!). Teneis que encontrar la estatua y tomar los dos digitos que estan escritos en ella.
A = primer digito
B = segundo digito




Fase 2: Ahora debeis ir a los restos del palacio. Si no sabeis la localizacion, debeis averiguarla ANTES de empezar la busqueda de este cache (o preguntar a alguien en el parque).
Buscad el panel que habla sobre LA PUERTA PRINCIPAL.

Responded las siguientes preguntas:
1) El primer numero (arabico) mencionado en el texto consta de 4 digitos: xxxx
2) "[...] patio mayor, que tenia más de yy metros de largo [...]"
C = xxxx
D = yy




La posicion final es:
N 39° 28.[C -50A-100B-2D+5]
W 0° 22.[4A-5B][D+4A+2]


En el logbook encontrareis el codigo para los certificados FTF/STF/TTF.
Enviadme los codigos y recibireis el certificado.
Gracias a Shears4 para ayudarme traducir! :-)



english:

1) It might be necessary to prepare this cache before going to the coordinates! Read the listing completely!
2) The listing coordinates are NOT the coordinates where the cache is hidden!




Stage 1: The listing coordinates lead you to a place close to the statue (Picture: Stage 1 ==> There is a picture!!).
You have to find the statue and take the two digits which are written on it.
A = first digit
B = second digit




Stage 2: Now go to the remains of the palace. If you do not know the location, you should find out where to go BEFORE starting this cache (or ask somebody in the park).
Find the board which tells you about THE MAIN DOOR.

Answer the questions:
1) The first (arabic) number mentioned in the text consists of 4 digits: xxxx
2) "[...] courtyard, which had more than yy metres long [...]"
C = xxxx
D = yy




The final position is:
N 39° 28.[C -50A-100B-2D+5]
W 0° 22.[4A-5B][D+4A+2]


On the logbook you will find the code for the FTF/STF/TTF - certificate.
Send me the code and you will get the certificate.
