    Restored Mosaics - Train Station Valencia from Valencia Blog on Vimeo.
    I haven’t been living long enough in Valencia to have seen this hall before they renovated it. But I can say that they did a wonderful job, and it’s really worth a visit, especially since the Estación del Norte is already on the must see [...]

    This time we’d like to take you to El Bicho Raro: a cute neighborhood bistro serving French cuisine.

    As a birthday surprise, we went on a sunset cruise on a catamaran. I read about it in a brochure I got from the Valencia Tourist office, though neither the brochure nor the internet had many details about it.
    So, a week early I walked by the Veles e Vents building located at the America’s [...]

    It’s always good to keep an eye on the Valencia webcam, pointed at Plaza de la Virgen, on the right-hand side of our blog. Yesterday I noticed this huge crowed gathering there. So, of course, we had to go. It was worth it - we got to see David Villa and other members of [...]

    We wrote about the Cinema Jove just couple of days ago. Turns out that all open air films are shown at the Viveros Garden. So we went on the first night to watch [REC], which was really fun.
    The next day, we went to see the opening film in competition, giving me the opportunity to snap [...]
