What I value most is that everyone in Valencia has the will to help events happen

When we talked about Christmas celebrations I told you about people, like myself, who let sweet traditions aside as they prefer some peculiar sweet thing that is his or her lifetime sweet love affair. Sometimes is mommy’s or auntie’s or granny’s sweet thing, and sometimes some particular local sweet speciality that has been present at [...]

We all have important celebrations these days. We have argued for Valencian wines and cavas from our own criteria but –above all– we respect and love professional wine people indeed, so we asked some of the most important wine people in town for their Chrismas wine and cava selection –a selection that obviously rules anytime!

If you’re moving to Valencia to work for a long season, you might want to rent a house or an apartment. Living in your own place rather than renting a hotel room has many advantages in a a City like Valencia, since it’s a city with lot’s of services and alternatives for leisure and business. [...]

There was a time in which Valencian Community wines were completely under the radar not just at International but at National level, and were used just as wines in bulk or, as the cheesy legend said, to secretly increase the production of some other much more famous regions.
