Spain Part 2: Paella hunting in Valencia

Well, it's been 5 years since I visited Spain. I recently discovered this old draft and decided to publish it now. Enjoy this short article! 

Day 1

we woke up super early on the next day, had our breakfast, and drove off to the next city which is Valencia. the journey took about 3 and a half hours.

our whole journey was accompanied by a gorgeous blue sky and sunshine. we could easily see the magnificent mountain from afar.







we purposely made a few stops on our way to valencia just to snap pictures. how scenic is the picture above?? majestic mountains and fluffy clouds...

at noon we arrived and then had lunch at a vegan restaurant and check-in our hotel. that night. we went for a paella hunting mission. FYI, paella is a rice dish cooked with veggies/seafood/meat, saffron, rosemary, and olive oil and other spices. there are several types of paella which consist of Valencian paella (paella valenciana), vegetarian/vegan paella (paella de verduras), seafood paella (paella de marisco), and mixed paella (paella mixta), but there are many more.(pffft... macam rancangan makanan kat afc dah jadi) we ate paella de marisco that night. rasa dia?? boleh lah ahahahaha. it's rice cooked with spices and seafood ala nasi goreng seafood kat kedai cuma basah sikit. i didn't hate the taste, but i didn't like it either. setakat nak try rasa okay lah. #tekakmelayu

on the next day, we went sightseeing around some of the famous spot the town which includes
