10 Things to do in Valencia, Spain Travel Guide Video Transcript: (València)
Continuing our travels through Spain, our next stop was Valencia.
Located along the coast, Spain’s third-largest city is renowned for its mild climate, futuristic constructions and paella.
We’ll spent most of our time in Valencia was mostly spent eating, but when we weren’t restaurant hopping or snacking our way through markets, we were exploring the city on foot and the destination quickly rose to the top.
In this Valencia travel guide we’re going to take you guys on a tour of the city and show you some of the things you can do on your visit.
After lunch we were ready to go sightseeing around Valencia. Our first stop: the Silk Exchange.
We went on a walk around the Old Quarter without much of a plan in mind. We saw some street art browsed through a few shops, and randomly stumbled across the narrowest building in Europe - that’s the terracotta.
Since the tower was closed, we decided to stop by Horchateria Santa Catalina to try a drink that you either love or hate: horchata.
This cold milky-looking drink is made with chufas, better known as tiger nuts in English.
Our next attraction was Valencia Cathedral, which is home to a Holy Chalice that has been defended as the true Holy Grail.
If there’s one dish that we had to try in Valencia, it was paella. Many non-Spaniards view paella as Spain's national dish, but Spaniards will tell you this is a regional Valencian dish.
The City of Arts and Sciences, is a cultural and architectural complex that looks quite spacey and futuristic.
The complex itself is made up of various structures including a domed-glass garden that’s filled with palm trees, the planetarium, an interactive science museum, an aquarium, an opera house, and a plaza designed to hold concerts and sporting events and Turia Park.
But paella wasn’t all we had at the restaurant. We also ordered fideuá.
We had a food adventure in Valencia’s Central Market. Although this is primarily a place to buy your fresh fish, vegetables, meat, and fruit, you can also find some stands that sell smaller snacks and traditional Spanish dishes.
To wrap up our trip to Valencia, we’ll leave you with a few nighttime shots of the city washed aglow. We hope you enjoyed this Valencia travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do around the city.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine.

Art & Design: studietrip Valencia
Elk jaar sturen wij een aantal groepen van onze studenten op studiereis richting het zonnige Valencia, in het kader van internationalisering. Tijdens deze reis van 14 dagen verblijft iedereen in een gezellig gastgezin. Om er voor te zorgen dat de studenten daar ’s ochtends bij het ontbijt zonder gebarentaal kunnen aangeven of ze wel of geen melk in de koffie willen, krijgt de groep voorafgaand zes weken Spaanse lessen van twee uur. Mede hier worden zij optimaal voorbereid op het verblijf in de op twee na grootste stad van Spanje.
Programma
De excursie wordt voor de artistieke groep onderverdeeld in twee delen. De eerste week mag de groep de Spaanse taal nog even extra bijspijkeren met lessen in het taleninstituut Taronja. De tweede week van het verblijf wordt besteed aan de nodige culturele uitstapjes. Op de planning staan onder andere bezoeken aan musea, ateliers, workshops en masterclasses.
Ook dit jaar zetten de studenten via de opdracht Tip&Post kunst in als verbinding met locals. Het idee is dat iedereen tien kleine kunstobjecten maakt, zoals een tekening of een collage op briefkaart formaat. De gebruikte techniek staat vrij, zo lang het maar gemakkelijk te vervoeren is. Tijdens het verblijf in Valencia worden de kunstobjecten geruild met een local voor een goede tip. Waar kan ik goedkoop Paella eten? Welke expositie moet ik beslist bezoeken? Waar serveren ze de beste Churros van Valencia? Als dank ontvangt de tipgever het kunstobject, en wordt er een foto geplaatst op de Facebookpagina.

International pilgrimage honors Gypsy blessed
Madrid, Spain, Apr 24, 2009 / 05:27 pm (CNA).- Beginning today, Gypsies from all over Europe started out on the fifth international pilgrimage to a chapel honoring one of their own, Blessed Ceferino Jimenez Malla. The saintly Cerefino, who is known as Pele, was martyred for refusing to deny his devotion to the Rosary.
The Archbishop of Sevilla, Cardinal Carlos Amigo, will preside at the main event which will take place this Sunday, accompanied by Bishop Emeritus Damian Iguacen of Tenerife and Bishop Alfonso Milian of Barbastro-Monzon.
On Saturday there will be a procession, a visit to the museum and crypt of the Missionary Martyrs, a visit to the Shrine of Torreciudad (torreciudad.org), and at night, a Way of Cross. On Sunday there will be a visit to the cemetery and to the house of Blessed Ceferino. On May 4 the liturgical feast will be commemorated by the bishop of Barbastro-Monzon.
The pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Father Jose Maria Garanto, who is organizing the event, said Blessed Ceferino was a simple Christian who was also profoundly kind to others.
Peles nephew, Alvaro Gimenez, underscored the human and Christian qualities of his uncle Ceferino: He gave his life for God and he did it with joy. He showed he was a true saint. My father always told me he was a good person and a good Christian.
In 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, Pele was detained for defending a priest who was being dragged through the streets of Barbastro and for carrying a rosary in his pocket. He refused to throw away his rosary in exchange for his life and thus embraced martyrdom. On August 8, 1936 he was shot while holding his rosary in his hands and shouting, Long Live Christ the King.
Science Trip to Valencia 2014
During the Feb mid-term break fifty two second year students accompanied by six of their teachers visited the Science Centre in Valencia Spain. One of the highlights was staying in the huge aquarium overnight and sleeping under the shark tank. They were given demonstration workshops in Chemistry and Physics. They also stayed in an Outdoor Adventure centre located in the middle of a forest in the nearby mountains where they immersed themselves in wall climbing, zip-lining, canoeing, cycling, hill walking and unlimited soccer tournaments! It was an exciting and educational trip.
4K Montserrat Monastery : la Vierge Noire: drone Autel EVO ????????
La légende fait remonter la fondation de l'abbaye en l'an 880
Un samedi après-midi à la tombée de la nuit, des pâtres virent descendre du ciel une puissante lumière accompagnée d'une belle mélodie.
Le samedi suivant, la vision se répéta. Les quatre samedis suivants le recteur d'Olesa les accompagna et put constater la vision miraculeuse. Selon la légende racontée dans le Virolai de Montserrat, chant de louange à la Vierge de Montserrat, des anges découpèrent le massif de Montserrat avec une scie en or2 (d'où l'étymologie populaire de Montserrat, « Mont-scié » car la silhouette dentée du massif évoque la lame dentée d'une scie) pour abriter la statue de la Vierge et l'abbaye.
Cette légende est à l'origine du symbole héraldique de Montserrat : une scie, tantôt tenue par des anges et tantôt seule, mais toujours au-dessus d'un dessin de rochers stylisés3.
Après avoir pris connaissance de l'événement, l'évêque qui se trouvait à Manresa organisa une montée au Montserrat pendant laquelle fut découverte une grotte où se trouvait une image de la Sainte Vierge. L'évêque proposa alors de la transférer à Manrèse, mais dès qu'ils essayèrent de la mouvoir, elle se fit tant pesante qu'il ne purent la faire bouger. L'homme d'Église interpréta ce fait comme la volonté de la Sainte Vierge de rester en ce lieu et décida de faire construire une chapelle sur le site.
Depuis cette légende dont le récit le plus ancien est un texte daté de 12394, Montserrat est considéré comme un haut lieu du catholicisme tant espagnol que catalan (elle est la patronne de la Catalogne), puisqu'elle est ainsi fêtée le 27 avril. En dehors du monastère et de la Sainte Grotte, le massif compte un bon nombre de petites églises et d'ermitages abandonnés.
La sainte Vierge, appelée familièrement la Moreneta (la noiraude) pour sa couleur sombre, a été taillée en bois à la fin du XIIe siècle; il s'agit d'une Vierge noire comme il y en a en quelques endroits d'Europe.
The legend traces the foundation of the abbey in the year 880
On a Saturday afternoon at nightfall, shepherds saw a powerful light come down from the sky accompanied by a beautiful melody.
The following Saturday, the vision was repeated. The four Saturdays following the rector of Olesa accompanied them and could see the miraculous vision. According to the legend told in the Virolai de Montserrat, a song of praise to the Virgin of Montserrat, angels cut the Montserrat massif with a gold saw2 (hence the popular etymology of Montserrat, Mont-sawed because the silhouette toothed massif evokes the serrated blade of a saw) to house the statue of the Virgin and the abbey.
This legend is at the origin of the heraldic symbol of Montserrat: a saw, sometimes held by angels and sometimes alone, but always above a drawing of stylized rocks3.
After learning of the event, the bishop who was in Manresa organized a climb to the Montserrat during which a cave was discovered where there was an image of the Blessed Virgin. The bishop proposed to transfer her to Manresa, but as soon as they tried to move her, she became so heavy that he could not move her. The man of the Church interpreted this as the will of the Blessed Virgin to stay in this place and decided to build a chapel on the site.
Since this legend whose oldest story is a text dated 12394, Montserrat is considered a hotbed of both Spanish and Catalan Catholicism (it is the patron saint of Catalonia), since it is celebrated on April 27th. Outside the monastery and the Holy Grotto, the massif has a number of small churches and abandoned hermitages.
The Blessed Virgin, familiarly called Moreneta (black) for its dark color, was carved out of wood at the end of the 12th century; it is a black Madonna as there are in some places of Europe.
Spain's Top 13 Travel Destinations according to Lonely Planet
Spain: Top 13 Travel Destinations according to Lonely Planet
13. Staying in Beautiful Parador
A parador is a state-owned hotel in Spain. This chain of inns was founded in 1928 by the Spanish King Alfonso XIII. The unique aspects of paradores are their location and their history. Found mostly in historical buildings, such as convents, Moorish castles, or haciendas, paradores are the exact opposite of the uncontrolled development found in coastal regions like the Costa del Sol.
12. Madrid's Golden Art Triangle
The Golden Triangle of Art is made up of three important art museums that are close to each other in the centre of Madrid. The three art museums are: the Prado Museum, featuring pre-20th-century art. the Reina Sofía Museum, featuring 20th century modern art. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, historical through contemporary art.
11. Asturian Coast
According to one count, the emeraldgreen northern Spanish region of Asturias boasts more than 600 beaches. While the coolness of the Atlantic may be a drawback for those planning on catching some sun, the beauty of many of these frequently wild and unspoiled stretches is utterly breathtaking.
10. Sierra Nevada & Las Alpujarras
The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in the region of Andalucia, provinces of Granada and Almería in Spain. It is a popular tourist destination, as its high peaks make skiing possible in one of Europe's most southerly ski resorts, in an area along the Mediterranean Sea predominantly known for its warm temperatures and abundant sunshine.
9. Renaissance Salamanca
The city lies by the Tormes river on a plateau and is considered to be one of the most spectacular Renaissance cities in Europe. The buildings are constructed of sandstone mined from the nearby Villamayor quarry, and, as the sun begins to set, they glow gold, orange and pink.
8. Pintxos in San Sebastian
San Sebastian boasts one of the best in-city beaches in Europe. It is quite unusual feeling that you can sunbathe and swim right next to major historical buildings and churches. Surfers are in abundance here.
7. La Rioja Wine Country
La Rioja is the sort of place where you could spend weeks meandering along quiet roads in search of the finest drop. Bodegas offering wine-tastings and picturesque villages that shelter excellent wine museums are the mainstay in this region.
6. Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias
The City of Arts and Sciences is an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia. The City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the end of the former riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957.
5. Madrid Nightlife
The nightlife in Madrid is one of the city's main attractions. Tapas bars, cocktail bars, clubs, jazz lounges, live music venues, flamenco theatres and establishments of all kinds cater to all. Everything from acclaimed to up-and-coming artists, singer-songwriters to rock bands, jazz concerts or electronic music sessions to enjoy music at its best.
4. Easter in Seville
Return to Spain's medieval Christian roots and join Seville's masses for the dramatic Easter celebration of Semana Santa.Elaborate pasos of Christ and the Virgin Mary are paraded around the city to the emotive acclaim of the populace; the most prestigious procession is the madrugada (early hours) of Good Friday.
3. Mezquita
The biggest attraction in Córdoba and a truly must-see building, the Mezquita is a massive former mosque-turned-cathedral famed for its forest of columns topped with Islamic-style red and white striped arches among its other many architectural highlights and serves as a reminder of the glory and importance Córdoba held in medieval times.
2. La Sagrada Família
Barcelona's most popular and famous attraction, the Sagrada Família, is a testament to Antonio Gaudi's modernist style and quite possibly unlike any other church in the world. The texture and detail on the facades are intricate and incorporate items seen in nature (like fruit) as much of Gaudi's work does.
1. Alhambra
The Alhambra: Part fortress, part palace, part garden and part government city, this medieval complex overlooking Granada is one of the top attractions in Spain, with many visitors coming to Granada expressly to see the Alhambra. The last Moorish stronghold in Europe, the Alhambra reflects the splendor of Moorish civilization in Andalusia.

Mallorcan folk dancing, by the villagers -- the real thing, not performance
During this trip, we've been blessed with many great folk dance expositions, but they were museum pieces: what used to be something the whole town did after a day in the fields is now performed by an elite few to whom we leave the task of Cultural Preservation. A concert or exposition is NOT folk art -- it's performance art! The holy grail for folk-dance lovers such as myself is encountering the equivalent of a good old-fashion hoe-down, where the entire town -- young or old, elegant or clumsy, confident or flailing -- meets to have a meal at long tables and then dance the night away in a style that dates back centuries. It took us four months to find such a thing. The island of Mallorca is itself a lesson in self-preservation: the small towns speak Catalan, with Spanish being mere the main foreign language. Here they dance in a style called Baile de Bat, a mixture of flamenco and bolero and (unofficially) Israeli circle dancing. It's wild, energetic, as aerobic as you can get, and EVERYONE does it, including the teens who text between songs and who probably are as immersed in Lady Gaga as the typical American teen. The band itself does not have any percussion, instead it's BYOP -- about a fifth of the dancers bring their own castanets and provide the percussion. During the summer, these hoe-downs are available twice a week. It's the social center of the small towns here, and what a great thing to see the kids embracing it as much as their elders!

MALAGA - SPAIN. Best Vacation Spot in Europe & Best Travel Destination. DJI Mavic Pro Drone Footage.
Malaga is a top travel destination, known as the capital of the Costa del Sol, located in the south of Spain. An estimated 6 million tourists visit the city each year. Tourists usually visit the birthplace of Pablo Picasso and the Museo Picasso Malaga, the Carmen Thyssen Museum, the old town or the beaches. The Malaga harbour is also the second busiest cruise port of the Iberian Peninsula. A popular walk leads up the hill to the Gibralfaro castle (a Parador), offering panoramic views over the city. The castle is next to the Alcazaba, the old Muslim palace, which in turn is next to the inner city of Málaga. Other nearby attractions are the Roman Theatre, the old Jewish quarter, the Cathedral, and the Church of Santiago in mudéjar style. A popular walk follows the Paseo del Parque (a promenade that runs alongside a grand park with many palm trees and statues) to the harbour, ending in Calle Larios, the main commercial street of the city. There is also a curious museum, the Museum of the Holy Week, which includes an impressive display of Baroque ecclesiastical items. The old historic centre of Malaga reaches the harbour to the south. In the north it is surrounded by mountains, the Montes de Malaga.

Balenciaga and Spain by Hamish Bowles, Vogue
Cristóbal Balenciaga was born in Guetara, a Spanish fishing village, in 1895, and died in Valencia in 1972. Although his career was spent in Paris, he never left his Spanish heritage behind. In this lecture, Hamish Bowles will discuss the impact of Balenciaga’s native Spain—its regional dress, cultural and religious traditions and powerful artistic history—on the couturier’s work, exploring how Balenciaga translated these influences into his designs, both overtly and subliminally, through the decades. Bowles will touch on his own experiences curating two monographic exhibitions on the designer, his discoveries tracing the designer’s personal history in Spain and his own collection of Balenciaga works.

Walk around at the city Popayán, Colombia
Popayán is the capital of the Colombian department of Cauca. It is located in southwestern Colombia between the Western Mountain Range and Central Mountain Range. It has a population of 258,653 people, an area of 512 km2, is located 1760 meters above sea level. The town is well known for its colonial architecture and its contributions to Colombian cultural and political life. It is also known as the white city due to the color of most of the colonial buildings in the city center, where several churches are located, such as San Francisco, San José, Belén, Santo Domingo, San Agustín, and the Catedral Basílica Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, known locally as La Catedral.
Much of the city's original splendor was destroyed on 31 March 1983, when an earthquake toppled many buildings. Though many were rebuilt and repaired, the heart of the city still has ruins and empty lots.
In 2009, UNESCO declared the Semana Santa processions during Easter Week a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Patrimony of Humanity.
El morro del tulcán is the main archaeological site of Popayán. It consists of a truncated pyramid built between 500 and 1600 A.C., a period known as late chiefdom societies. To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city's founding, a monument was erected in 1937 in honor of city founder Sebastián de Belalcázar, with an equestrian statue by Spanish artist Victorio Macho.
The clock tower, called the nose of Popayán by Guillermo Valencia, is a well-known symbol of the city. It was built next to the cathedral between 1673 and 1682 with 96,000 bricks.
Humilladero Bridge connects the central and northern zones of the city. It was built in 1873 on arches of brick and masonry. The designs were prepared by the Italian friar Fray Serafin Barbetti and a German engineer whose mummified remains are preserved in the Archdiocesan Museum of Religious Art. The bridge crosses a fault between the city center and the El Callejón (now Bolivar) neighborhood which was previously extremely difficult to cross, requiring pedestrians to almost crawl on their knees. Accordingly, the new bridge was named Humilladero. For a long time this bridge was one of the main entrances to the city.
Spanish Catalan Food, AMAZING Tapas, and Antoni Gaudí Attractions in Barcelona, Spain!

►Camera I use:
Day 22 of our Round The World Trip for Food with Star Alliance, we were in Barcelona, Spain. We started off the day with an amazing Catalan food meal at Can Vilaró before doing some sightseeing, eating legendary Barcelona tapas, and finishing with some of the most famous Antoni Gaudí attractions in Barcelona.
00:32 Catalan Food at Can Vilaró Restaurant - Can Vilaró is an amazing and classic restaurant in Barcelona that specializes in local Catalan food. To begin our meal, I started with a bowl of gazpacho, a cold and refreshing tomato and vegetable soup. One of the main dishes I ordered was cap i pota, a Spanish Catalan dish of trip and other organs in kind of like a stew. Finally, seeing some roasted lamb cheeks, I decided to try a few of those as well. It was a delicious meal with friendly local service. Thanks to for this recommendation! Total price - 23.10 EUR
9:16 Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya - After stopping by the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc for a while, we then continued on up the thill to the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. If you love art, you’ll enjoy this museum in Barcelona. Price - 12 EUR
12:30 Montjuïc Castle - 5 EUR per person - One of the greatest attractions in Barcelona is the Montjuïc Castle. The castle itself is not incredible, but the views of Barcelona that you get and the perspective you can get of the city is what I think really makes the attraction worth visiting.
14:42 Legendary tapas at Quimet & Quimet - After walking down from the castle, Ying and I stopped off at Quimet & Quimet, a legendary small tapas bar in Barcelona that specializes in tapas made from pickled and canned seafood and ingredients. The owner is an expert at what he does, and you can see the passion and love he has for the tapas he prepared. The best tapa I had at Quimet & Quimet was canned mussels with caviar which came topped over a piece of crispy toast. Total price - 20 EUR
19:26 Casa Milà (La Pedrera) - 20.50 EUR - Some of the most famous attractions in Barcelona are buildings and basilicas designed by Antoni Gaudí. So on this day I decided to visit two of the most famous Antoni Gaudí complexes in a row (the day before we had already visited Sagrada Familia, you can watch that here: Casa Milà was very interesting to see and walk around and learn about Antoni Gaudí.
24:06 Casa Batlló - 22.50 EUR - Next, we walked down the street to Casa Batlló, another well known building re-designed by Antoni Gaudí. It was busier than Casa Milà, but it was also very fascinating to learn about the ideas, thoughts, and designs that went into the construction.
On Day 22 we did quite a bit of sightseeing of attractions in Barcelona, and the highlight of the day for me was the first Catalan food meal at Can Vilaró Restaurant.
