Making Paella at La Matandeta
A humble meal originally from the rice fields of Valencia, paella has become the most emblematic dish of Spanish cuisine.
The Sierra Calderona and the Mirador de Garbi
Valencia is a relatively flat city, but it's surrounded by mountain ranges. The closest is the Sierra Calderona, an hour's drive northwest. We spent a day hiking in the hills and ended up at the Mirador de Garbi, a natural rocky outcrop with astounding views of the Mediterranean Sea.
