The Mocadorà is an event full of symbolic meaning that perhaps only the locals can fully understand, but it is certainly a particular event that those who come to Valencia in October should not absolutely miss! It is a tradition for men to give their sweethearts gifts of marzipan sweets wrapped in a napkin (the Valencian mocador).

Valencia – searching for the Real Paella

Tuesday 17 May 2011

Paella

Valencia has always contended the primacy of night life with Barcelona and Madrid, but the Valencian movida is truly unique, much more discreet and less noisy. Tourists who wander in the centre of the city are often invited for a drink to try the famous Agua de Valencia, typical cocktail made with orange juice, Cointreau, Vodka, Cava and Champagne, possibly served along with a good Paella, typical recipe from this beautiful city.

An intense weekend in Valencia

Wednesday 27 April 2011

Up to a few years ago, Valencia was considered only a stopover destination for those traveling through the most famous places of this part of Spain. However, the America’s Cup 2007 has put this city into highlight for its great cultural and architectural vivacity. For this reason, perhaps a weekend is not sufficient to get the best from Valencia, but since the main attractions are concentrated in specific areas, even a few days will be enough to enjoy this wonderful destination.
