For a while now we’ve been wanting to try out the Korean BBQ along Carrer de Bailèn. We love Asian food! And it’s been on my list to go to since it opened a couple of years ago. Last week it was my youngest 13th birthday (yes, he is now…
A great toy miniature toy soldier museum in Valencia. Watch the video of our tour in the one of the quirkiest museum in Valencia. This year is no doubt the longest summer holidays ever!!! And I thought 12 weeks of summer break was bad, six months without school and anything…
Jardines del Real is just one of the beautiful parks and nature attractions situated in the centre of Valencia. Check out our visit along with photos and video. Back in January, before COVID-19 hit Spain, we booked a vacation to the Philippines. Of course, things have changed in the space…

Visiting family and friends in the UK is something that we do frequently. Living in Valencia means that we are fortunate enough to be only 20 minutes drive to the airport. During the month of April to October, flights run from Valencia to East Midlands which is the most convenient…
It was 2 years ago when we discovered the charming medieval town of Peñiscola. I must admit that it’s one of my favourite towns in the Valencian Community. As well as having a vast amount of history, it also offers pristine blue beaches and an ancient castle. Here you will…
Believe it or not, Valencia offers a lot more than glorious sunshine and amazing beaches. Similar to its sister cities of Madrid and Barcelona, art and culture are firmly ingrained in Valencia’s history.From the Muslim fortress of Almudín, the Fallas museum, to the impressive Gothic architecture of The Silk Exchange,…
Spains first water park was introduced back in 1985. Since then, it has grown to be a favourite summer hotspot for the family and fun lovers during the weekends and holidays. During the months of June to August, Valencia can get very hot an humid. So it’s not surprising that…
Oh, Spain! Land of the beautiful pueblos (villages) where time stands still. Valencia, on the east coast of Spain, is home to hundreds of ancient villages rich in history and dating back to the Moorish and Medieval eras.

I wrote an article a year ago about the opening of a new cat café in Valencia. As a cat lover myself I’ve been waiting for an excuse to visit. So on my birthday, my daughter thought it would be a great surprise to treat me with the experience of…
Valencians are VERY passionate about their heritage especially when it comes to food. In the 5 years that I have lived here, I have learnt not to mess or even joke about putting chorizos in a paella. For the reasons that, mentioning such comment even in a joke can potentially…
From the 1st to the 19th of March of every year, gunpowder, parties, paellas, fire and music take precedence over the whole city. So if it’s noise, fireworks and celebrations that you’re looking for then the Fallas festival is for you.
Denia is about an hour and a half south of Valencia situated in the province of Alicante. It’s a historic, cosmopolitan and cultural city that has remained free of mass tourism and has grown organically preserving all its authenticity.
I would say that Altea is probably one of my favourite towns in Alicante. Only an hour and a half drive south of Valencia it’s a town with a lot of character and relaxed surroundings, quite surprising as it’s only a 15-minute drive away from the vibrant atmosphere of Benidorm.…
In the past decade, many cat cafés have opened all over the world and as a cat lover myself, I am pleased to tell you that the first cat cafe has finally arrived in Valencia, Spain! Did you know that the cat café concept originally started in Taiwan? Many Taiwanese love cats,…
I really couldn’t stand it anymore. I ran out of some decent Asian ingredients over 6 months ago and some things you just can’t buy in Carrefour! I was really missing some ingredients in my weekly cooking, such as; coconut vinegar, a decent bottle of soy sauce (that didn’t cost…
Just over a week ago we celebrated my husband’s birthday, with family coming over too, it was a great excuse to try something other than paella! Don’t get me wrong, I like the stuff, but it’s also nice to try something different other than Spanish food once in a while!…
The more I visit Valencia the more I fall in love with the place. So it was no brainer when my husband and I decided to take another weekend break just 30 minutes drive from our home. I tend to visit the city often, but not to sightsee. I guess…
Over the weekend, we found ourselves child-free, thanks to my in-laws who came to visit last week from the UK. They kindly offered to take the children off our hands so that my husband and I can spend a little alone time together. 😉 We didn’t waste any time organising…
So, it’s that time of year again, as the days get longer and the weather gets warmer there is no mistaking that Spring and the Fallas festival is just around the corner. If I was to describe the Fallas in Valencia to anyone who has not experienced it before I…
