To day we moved on to Valencia passing through an area where people live in caves similar to the ones you possibly know about in Turkey. I tried to get a photo from the bus but you'll have to zoom. Landscape changed again.to food production. The area is called the food basket of Europe because a lot of what is grown is exported throughout Europe. Huge areas of vegetable and fruit gardens. Heaps of orange trees (eg Valencia oranges of course) pomegranate almonds vegetables of all description etc. Stopped at a winery for a very interesting
tour and tasting over a delightful 4 course lunch. They were very generous sharing the wines for tasting which I think all wines were given a very favorable thumbs up. 4 reds 2 rose and one sav/chardonnay mix.
Voted the best meal yet. Wine very reasonable to buy at about $10 - $12.per bottle I think most of us bought at least 1 bottle so they'd have done ok. And look what was in our room on arrival. 😋Read more
TravelerWas it one cookie to share or did someone eat theirs before the photo could be taken 🤔
TravelerWhat a lovely arrival treat. And the plates at your shared meal looks like it contains something green....does that mean some vegetables in the basket of Europe? :) :)
TravelerYou'd think so wouldn't you. The prawn salad had tomato and green capsicum and the yummy Rusian salad (tuna egg mashed spud) but no its strange about the greens. Lots and lots of bread eaten with all meals though with olive oil on if you're lucky else just plain
