Fair of Old and Used Books

by moonlight lady 26. March 2019 Valencia 0

Every year in Valencia, around the months of February and March, the Fair of Old and Used Books takes place. And, of course, this year I also went to see it, although I must confess that I left for the very last day! Dozens stands full of old books and not so old books at a super ...

What if I don’t like fallas?

by moonlight lady 22. March 2019 Valencia 4

To many this may sound unconceivable, but you can be Valencian and hate fallas. In fact, I would say that the love-hate ratio for this festivity will approach 50-50 and I am among the 50% who would like to flee from Valencia every time these dates approach. Do not misunderstand me, I know they are ...

Sometimes winter doesn’t feel like winter

by moonlight lady 14. January 2019 Discovering Places, Valencia 0

Sometimes winter doesn’t feel like winter, those days you have to take advantage of the good weather and go to the mountain. In our case it wasn’t like that, the date was already agreed and we had the incredible luck that we had a great weather. A few days before Christmas, we had ...

It’s been more tahona a month since our trip to Fuente los Baños in Montanejos, but I haven’t share the video per se. So I leave t here now! Yo can also read a bit about our visit and see some of the pictures we took here. I already said this but I’ll do it ...

We spent the day in Fuente los Baños

by moonlight lady 18. October 2018 Discovering Places, Valencia 0

For reasons beyond our control, last weekend we had to postpone our trip to Cuenca. But it was a bank holiday and we couldn’t just stay at home doing nothing, so we decided to take the car and go spend the day to Fuente los Baños in Montanejos. I had already been to ...

Boat trip in l’Albufera

by moonlight lady 07. October 2018 Discovering Places, Valencia 2

I know I won’t be the only one around here who is eager to travel, who is passionate about discovering new places and getting lost in unknown and recondite landscapes, in short, I know that I am not the only victim of “wanderlust”. And for this very reason I know that many times we put ...

The medieval market of Benimaclet

by moonlight lady 18. September 2018 Diary, Valencia 2

Last weekend there was a medieval market in the neighbourhood and, being next to my place, there was no way ‘ll miss it. Apparently, the medieval market of Benimaclet is one of the largest in the city of Valencia and also one of the best known. Several of the streets leading to the square are ...

Okuda San Miguel’s colourful art

by moonlight lady 19. June 2018 Diary, Valencia 0

This is what happens when you let time pass by instead of doing things when they should be done, that you forget details and that the dates are over; and that is precisely what happened to me with Okuda’s exhibition at the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea del Carmen. Okuda was responsible for the monument of ...

My first afternoon in the beach

by moonlight lady 01. April 2018 Diary, Valencia 0

It seems the stars aligned yesterday and I ended up going to the beach. Still calling this post “a day in the beach” would be extremely exaggerated, I would rather say “an hour in the beach”. To those who are astonished and confused by the fact that I didn’t turn to ashes under ...

How to make “buñuelos”

by moonlight lady 20. March 2018 Diary, Valencia 2

Fallas are over and, once again, the stress due to the crowds of people has defeated the festive atmosphere. That is to say, I have not gone to any mascletá or to any firework, I have not seen the ofrenda and I have hardly seen just two. Monuments. But I’ve still enjoyed fallas in my ...
