  9. In The Heat of Valencia

    Blog: Suzy Guese - 27 July 2011

  18. Churros wonderland

    Blog: La Tortuga Viajera - 24 March 2011

    I went to Valencia last weekend to experience Spain’s famous fire-filled festival – Las Fallas. Forget Fallas, though – the fire part anyway. I think there are more important subjects to discuss here, like the abundance of churros con chocolate. You knew I’d find a way to make this about the food, didn’t you? Us [...]

    Blog: La Tortuga Viajera - 4 November 2010
