Fantastic weekend of love in Valencia. Sensations and moments, unpredictability and new inspirations. Spring and blossom all around, love, love and love in the air.
As Valecia is one of the first cities just after the borderline of Catalunya things are happening quite different over there, and one more time I ascertained that Catalan and Spanish cultures are quite different. The city is third largest in Spain and I would say it is very diverse and pulsing. I was surprised by amount of big parks in the center and I really enjoyed old town, beautifull baroque arhitecture and some heritahe of Roman times.
Valecia is birth place of several things as horchata, paella and oranges. Horchata is cool drink made of milk and nuts, sold on the streets or in cafes or shops, and it absolutely makes hot summer day more enjoyable and fresh. Paella - the best paella I ever ate as far, amazing bunch of flavors, available any kind and any size and followed with cool white wine. Eating in a restaurant outside, feeling warm breeze of wind, enjoying wine and having a great company make me understand why spanish people give so much importance to meal time. Just outside of the city there are kilometres and kilometres of oranges trees plantations, it looks so beautiful, these are those places where fruits of sun come from.
The dessert we left for the late evening - a romantical walk in an iluminated city of Arts and Sciences, which absolutely has an outstanding arhitectural approach. It leaves an impression of realization of a fantasy world.
