where paa originated and right now we are eating paa for dinner this is the paa Maris so the one with the big shrimps in it and so far it’s been delicious I just had one of the shrimps so it’s going to be a paa marathon this whole weekend I’m so excited [Music] we’re on our biking tour in Valencia right now and we’re trying the orchata here which I didn’t know but it’s different from the Mexican orchata it’s like specific orchata to Valencia it tastes so good this cup is so cold it’s like very sweet kind of sugary but also really refreshing it’s kind of like a really good almond milk it’s nice so good for a hot day like [Music] today we Cafe De lasas which is highly recommended us come here Jo your Valencia we had some people say that this for the best place to come to get AA de

biked from the historic Center to the beach and then we biked back and then we took a biking to tour so my legs kind of feel like they’re going to fall off right now but before we finish the day we are going to another Food Market in Valencia people say that this one is uh kind of more hidden because there’s Marcado Central which is right in the historic Center and a lot of tourists go there but if you can make it out definitely go to this one this is the Marat coron and it’s in a different neighborhood so you have to walk a little bit to get here but take a look at the market behind me it looks beautiful I haven’t even walked inside I so ready to explore it let’s go [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we just sat down at some Market here at Marat coron and I decided to get

Port City in Spain’s Mia region on my visit there I had an emotional reunion with my kinoo Alonso we met while Walking the Camino de Santiago nearly a year ago but we had to part ways halfway through the Journey I wasn’t sure if I’d ever see him again but Destiny had other plans and and my travel schedule aligned perfectly for an afternoon exploring the city where he’s from Cenna with its Rich Roman Heritage and stunning coastline is filled with so much history Alfonso gave us the grand tour and let me tell you it did not disappoint I honestly couldn’t believe how incredible this city is
