ENGLISH
The first real day in Valencia (here the day before between Barcelona and our arrival) started at Starbucks: pumpkin spice latte with soy milk and cinnamon. One of my favorite things.
The day was hot, and we spent it at Bioparc, which hosts all the animals of South Africa and Madagascar in completely natural settings, free to live together even among different species, just like in nature.
We ate there the Valencian Paella (it’s the variant without fish): rice, saffron, jackdaws, chicken and white beans.
In the afternoon we walked through almost the entire park that surrounds Valencia, immense and full of different vegetation. People run, ride bikes, skate, do yoga, sleep, play. It’s a place full of positive energies.
In a kiosk we tasted the famous horchata de chufa: a drink prepared with water, sugar and the milk of the roots of a typical Valencian plant. Which is often served with fartons, sweet bread. Horchata has a pasty flavor and not at all similar to our almond barley. To try.
In the evening we tasted different varieties of very special tacos for combinations of flavors from “La Llorona Taquerรฌa”. And then we went in search of churros but since they are offered with hot chocolate, in the summer it’s more difficult to find them.
So we opted for a puffle, a kind of rolled waffle with ice cream or cream. Very good!
Valencia maintains its elegance even in the evening, semi-deserted during these periods, warm, palm trees and orange lights.
It is always interesting to be overwhelmed by a new city, to become attached to each new place with a different feeling. Valencia for me is like a pleasant warm dream, it’s light-heartedness and lightness, it’s instinct or safety.

Il primo vero giorno a Valencia (qui il giorno prima tra Barcellona e arrivo) รจ iniziato da Starbucks: pumpkin spice latte con latte di soia e cannella. Una delle cose che preferisco.
La giornata era caldissima, e lโabbiamo trascorsa al Bioparc che ospita tutti gli animali del Sud Africa e Madagascar in ambientazioni del tutto naturali, liberi di vivere insieme anche tra specie differenti, proprio come avviene in natura.
Abbiamo mangiato lรฌ la paella Valenciana (รจ la variante senza pesce): riso, zafferano, taccole, pollo e fagioli bianchi.
Il pomeriggio abbiamo attraversato a piedi quasi tutto il parco che circonda Valencia, immenso e ricco di differenti vegetazioni. Le persone corrono, vanno in bici, pattinano, fanno yoga, dormono, giocano. ร un posto pieno di energie positive.
In un chioschetto abbiamo assaggiato la famosa horchata de chufa: una bevanda preparata con acqua, zucchero e il latte delle radici di una tipica pianta valenciana. Che viene spesso servita con fartons, del pane dolce. Lโhorchata ha un sapore pastoso e per nulla simile alla nostra orzata di mandorle. Da provare.
Di sera abbiamo assaggiato diverse varietร di tacos particolarissimi per accostamenti di sapori da โLa Llorona Taquerรฌaโ. E poi siamo andate alla ricerca di churros ma poichรฉ vengono offerti con la cioccolata calda, in estate รจ piรน difficile trovarli.
Cosรฌ abbiamo optato per un puffle, una specie di waffle arrotolato con gelato o panna. Buonissimo!
Valencia mantiene la sua eleganza anche di sera, semideserta di questi periodi, calda, palme e illuminazioni arancioni.
ร sempre interessante lasciarsi sopraffare da una nuova cittร , affezionarsi ad ogni nuovo posto con un sentimento differente. Valencia per me รจ come un piacevole sogno caldo, รจ spensieratezza e leggerezza, รจ istinto o sicurezza.
