I could have spent hours looking at the truly amazing Garden of Eartly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch!

hike around Alcal√° del J√∫car
To find the beginning of the track was a bit hard, but the friendly locals helped us along and around 13:00hr we started our steep ascent of the mountain. A few minutes later we had fantastic views over the village below, with its castle, the church and the river gorge.
visit to Bioparc
Today we participated in an organised trip to Bioparc, a zoo where the animals live in a much less restricted environment than a traditional zoo with cages.
booked trip to Granada
I did quite a bit of research on how to get to Granada from Valencia. Flying: only possible via Madrid (or Palma or Morocco), no fantastic deals. Train: more than 7 hours, no fantastic deals. Bus: more than 7 hours, relatively cheap, but traveling by bus is far from ideal.
Inge visiting us in Valencia
Right before I started writing this post I had a slice of bread with yummie Marmite and now I am drinking a cup of tea with a delicious stroopwafel.
walk in the park

Coincidentally today in Valencia also was gorgeous: 20 degrees and blue skies. The perfect day to finally take [...]
Day trip to Jávea and Dénia

Jávea and Dénia are situated halfway between Valencia and Alicante and it is the most eastern point of the peninsula; we [...]
day trip to Castillo de Xàtiva
The mystery day trip yesterday took us to Xàtiva, a small city about 40km south of Valencia. Kai and I met Carolina and Gianni at the train station and it turned out that Carolina had prepared a huge picnic for later!
Whole map of the are on Google Maps.
The train took us in 45 minutes to [...]
Utiel Gastronomica
Just came back from my daytrip to Utiel. Fantastic day!!!
Quite a bit different than what I expected, we actually went there because of the Utiel Gastronomica. More about that later.
We left in the morning by train and against expectations it took 2 hours to get there; a “boemeltreintje” as we call it in Dutch. Didn’t [...]
