A few weeks ago Alfredo Rivela de Nomaders invited me to an event for bloggers in Madrid but as it was between week I could not help. When there came the proposal to go following event, in Valencia, I could not say that not. In what was it consisting of event? In joining bloggeros of the whole Spain (some of them come with his cars in Valencia but others take trains or even planes), to know a little the city and in many cases to become expensive, because although Internet is a fantastic way to have the possibility of being known and of sharing this experience face to face is even better.
The day I have started with a visit on foot guided of the historical center of Valencia. On the Central Market a citrus fruits tasting was realized (Clementine, Clemenules, Navel, lemon Primofiori and Grapefruit, etc.) and to eat a Show cooking and I have lunch in Food and Fun, a new concept of restaurant and kitchen school along with the square of the Town hall.
Here it is where I joined the group. The plate that they were going to do to us was a paella what I do not get enthusiastic very much because as Valencian I usually do paellas and they must not be badly because my friends usually leave that it is me who is the one that cooks. But I had the first pleasant surprise of the day. In addition to knowing the suitable ingredients, the secret of the paella consists in being right with the quantity of broth, rice and playing with the fire so that the rice stays in his point. In the school they allowed us to prepare it to fry the meat, the vegetables … but when the complicated part came, the cooks of the school discreetly replaced us, for what instead of being dependent on the paella we could converse simply between us and do a small lunch with esgarraet. This way they obtain the educational part of the school and a good final score, with what the duality school - restaurant is reached with enough success. We all did paellas but as he corroborates Rafa Osuna in his blog our paella was with difference the best (Rafa Osuna, Munyoki, his wife and I).
Later there came the second agreeable surprise of the day, we went to visit the City of the Arts and the Sciences, in particular the Oceanográfico of Valencia and the pleasant surprise was that instead of doing the normal visit, we did a technical visit, an innovation that they have included in the catalog of the Oceanogràfic.
Technical visit to the Museum Oceanográfico of Valencia: It consisted of knowing the back room of the Oceanográfic. We enter the part of maintenance, we saw as they take care to the animals, the water filters across sand and ozone, the vats of transport of the fish and mammals, the area of quarantine, where they have the animal newly arrived persons or that it falls ill. The veterinary area where we could see even the radiography of a penguin and could walk over the swimming pool of 7 million liters of water where the only thing that bull was separating us from the sharks a small footbridge was and what in that memento it was looking like a minuscule rail.
The company was also fantastic, in addition to the experts paelleros already said (Rafa Osuna, Annoyed and Xavier Muñoz Munyoki, accompanied us Joan Carballo of blog.engeneral.net, Miguel Nonay Asaltodemata.com Eugenia Castroseiros Recorrerelmundo.com Robert and Jumi paelladekimchi.com
I want to be useful to be grateful to Nomaders and to Tourism for Valencia the initiative: Laura Farinelli and Alfredo Rivela of nomaders.com/blog and Amaya Raez turisvalencia.es
But with this I do not say goodbye, because Jose Ferri, valenciaguias.com our guide put a video to us in youtube that I have found and want to share. It shows the city of Valencia and it seemed to me that it is frankly well.
