Ready, set... ¡Anis Tenis!: Mostra de Vins

Wine! Jamón! Artisan Beers! Cheese! Cazalla! The Big Five - Ready and waiting for you in the Turia river bed from Thursday 31st March to Monday 4th April 2016 at the XXVIII Mostra de Vins, Caves i Licors in conjunction with the XXVI Mostra d'Aliments Tradicionals de la Comunitat Valenciana.

Bous al carrer, Picassent 2013

Bous al carrer in Picassent last year was probably one of the most bizarre experiences of my life. For two weeks of the year the normally sleepy village of Picassent transforms itself into party central; a hub of dancing, drinking, sweating and trotting... The pueblo, which lies 17km south of Valencia city and is surrounded by orange groves, welcomes hundreds of visitors, various peñas taurinas and, you guessed it, about a dozen bulls ready to freely roam around the town centre. Let's go back to last July when, of course, I had no idea what was about to happen. "Wear old clothes", they … [Read more...]
