This is one of the most unique tours that we have. A culinary adventure only available for two or three weeks in the entire year.<br />
<br />
This year we had a group of culinary students and their professors from Taylor's University in Malaysia to take part in this exclusive experience. We took them from Valencia to Castilla-La Mancha for a two day tour during which they had the opportunity to <b>taste the wines of Utiel-Requena</b> (Valencia) and the quintessential Spanish delicacy, <b>Manchego cheese</b>. They also got to witness the panoramic views of central Spain, complete with the <b>windmills of Don Quijote</b>. But the star of the tour was the Saffron visit, and the activities that they had the opportunity to partake in surrounding the closed world of this fragrant spice. The activities included: <b><i>a guided visit to the Saffron Museum where they learned about the history of the spice and its relationship with the land and the culture, they picked the flowers in a saffron field, they helped seperate the stems from the flowers, witnessed the drying of the spice, and discovered first hand the entire process from bulb to bottle of one of the most expensive spices in the world</i></b>.<br />

It was wonderful to be able to share this experience with these culinary students and their professors. Their energy and enthusiasm was palpable and they understood the uniqueness of the experience they were having, that <b>only a few other people in the world have or will see</b>, much less participate in. Coming to Spain and tasting paellas and visiting Barcelona is all well and good, but the chance to get into the heartland of Spain and <b>discover the exquisite world of Saffron was a chance that most visitors to Spain will never experience</b>. Mix in the chance to visit and taste authentic Manchego cheese (in Malaysia these kinds of cheeses are not an every day commodity), as well as experience the hospitality of the local restaurants who went out of their way to create a special menu of local delicacies for the group ... it all adds up to a couple of days of their trip which I hope will be unforgettable for them and that one day, when they are renowned chefs, they will look back at and remember as an inspiring experience that leaves the same smile on their faces that we have when we think of them and this tour. </div>

<br />
Granada is one of Spain's most beautiful cities, with the magnificent Alhambra, the zigzag labyrinth that is the old Albazyn and countless other treasures, all set against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and its easy to see why the city asserts such a powerful attraction to visitors. It is a city of tradition, from tapas to flamenco, Granada revels in its cultural heritage. And this week the revelling is going up a level. Because this week is Corpus Cristi in Granada, a week long celebration that marks the city's <i>Fiesta Mayor. </i>A fiesta mayor is the city's biggest festival, and the entire city comes out in its finest celebratory fashion.<br />
<br />
The Corpus Festival in Granada is over 500 years old, making it one of the oldest in Spain. There are workshops, decorated house competitions and bullfighting, as well as the processsions, parades and general vibrant ambiance of a lively city in full celebration. While the festival is based on the Corpus, there are definite pagan elements to the party as well, for example la Tarasca, a giant doll whose extravagent dress varies from year to year.<br />

<br />
If you are planning on visiting the Costa Brava this summer, try to take in a few of the local traditions. On the first weekend in July, for example, is one of the best opportunities. Folk songs and a seaside celebration par excellence await visitors to the charming fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell as they gather for their annual Cantada de Habaneras.<br />
<br />
Habaneras have since their inception been associated with the sea. Originating in Cuba in the early 19th century, they quickly became very popular in all of Spain. In Catalonia in particular, the popularity of the habaneras took a new dimension because of the close trade relationship between Cuba and the coastal towns of the region. Habaneras have become a festival in and of themselves, where people gather along the beach to listen to the classic songs, have bonfires and drink traditional drinks like "rom cremat". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you´ve never experienced a seaside folk festival in Spain, there is no better way to get initiated in the celebration, which always has a heavy local flavor.</div>

Valencia is celebrating its second annual "Ruta del Tardeo", a combination of the idea of tapas - "tapear" in Spanish is to go out for tapas - and "tarde", the late afternoon which is the traditional time to eat them. The route proposes a number of options for discovering the best tapas in the city at a reduced price. 34 different establishments (tapas bars, restaurants and pubs) are participating this year throughout the city. A tapa and a small glass of beer costs just 2.50€, but you have the option of selecting a cocktail specially made by each bar for 5 euros. The "route" is open every weekend in May and participants will have the chance to vote for their favorite tapas.<br />

<br />
On Sunday May 15 thousands of people will line the streets of Valencia to participate in the 34th edition of the "<i>Volta a Peu" - </i>an 8km (5 mile) course that winds through the streets of the Mediterranean city. It is not a competition, rather designed as a celebration of sport and the city itself. There is a three euro sign up fee that goes to a charity foundation that helps children with difficulties through sports. The main streets of the city will be shut down to traffic for most of day.<br />
<br />
Walking or running this route is a great way to see the city as well as help with a great cause, as the route takes you past the fortified towers of the city, down to the main streets like Avinguda del Port and Gran Via, and through the Plaza d'Espanya. The race begins at 10:00 and there are activities and events for spectators and children throughout the morning.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Watching how nature is intricately entwined with the local culture and history is a lesson in decoration. This week the flower show is in full bloom in Girona, about an hour north of Barcelona. And The Girona "Temps de Flors" show is much more than a simple flower show. In fact, it's one of the things that I most love about this country: people go to such lengths to make sure that the flower shows - which will take place in medieval chapels, along the steps of the Cathedral and in other selected places - highlight both the history and culture of the city. This is a unique chance to see one of Catalonia's treasures so colorfully painted by nature.</div>

Spain is famous for its grand variety of beaches. Long stretches of golden sand along the Costa Daurada, the white beaches of the Atlantic coast in Cadiz and Huelva, the rocky coast and hidden coves of the Costa Brava, and the paradisical blue waters and beaches of islands like Formentera are by all accounts one of Spain's natural treasures. But perhaps the most spectacular of all of Spain's beaches is in a region more known for its seafood and rivers than its beaches. In Galicia, in the northwest corner of Spain, lies the Playa de Aguas Santas.<br />
<br />
100 foot high arches carved by the water and the wind tower over the beach, like the frame of some massive open air church (hence the popular nickname, Playa de las Catedrales, or Beach of the Cathedrals). Walking along this beach along the Cantabrian Sea at low tide you will discover some of the most beautiful works of art nature has carved out for itself. The almost 1 mile long beach offers some majestic panoramic shots from both the top of the cliffs as well as from the beach itself, and is an ideal place for hiking routes as well.<br />

This fantastic experience offers spectacular views over the volcanic region of the Garrotxa, as well as the Pyrenees mountains and the whole of the Catalonia spread out below. There's nothing quite like enjoying a glass of cava a half mile up in the air with the snow-capped mountains as your background.<br />

It's nickname comes from the rugged cliffs and hidden coves that dot the coastline, giving it a wild and untameable image that is best discovered on foot or in small boats. The fishing villages that dot the coastline are tucked into the hills and are among the most beautiful coastal villages in Spain. Each town has its unique character, from medieval walls to a towering castle overlooking the city to a town famous for its relationship with artists like Miro and Dali. <a href="http://thespanishtouch.com/daytours_girona_costa_brava_tour.htm" target="_blank">Check out our tours along the Costa Brava</a>,<br />
<br />
The Costa Brava hiking tour takes the visitor along the coastal walking route called "Cami de Ronda", an old path originally used to connect the towns. The walk is an easy hike offering the opportunity to see the coast that you would not be able to see otherwise.<br />

Every year for over 30 years the strawberry train takes weekend passengers to Aranjuez Palace on a classic train which has been modified and updated for modern comforts.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1851 the second railway in Spain connected the capital city of Madrid with the Royal Palace of Aranjuez. It was called the "Tren de la Fresa", the Strawberry Train, as it went past vast fields of strawberries in Aranjuez. While these days the steam engine runs on cleaner fuel than coal, it still offers its guests all the benefits of a mid-19th century train, including waitstaff dressed in the fashion of the time and spectacularly restored coaches. The train departs on weekends in Spring and Autumn (not July or August) at 10am and returns to the city at 6 in the evening. A ticket includes roundtrip train fare, transfer from the train to the sights, a guided visit of the <a href="http://www.patrimonionacional.es/Home/Palacios-Reales/Palacio-Real-de-Aranjuez.aspx">Royal Palace at Aranjuez</a> and a giant strawberry treat.<br />

The whole region of Catalonia has Roman roots that stretch back over two thousand years. The Romans arrived at the Greek trading village of Empuries and made their way down the coast, eventually stopping in what would become modern day Barcelona. However, before they got there they arrived at the city which borders Barcelona today to the north: Badalona.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The city of Badalona is the the third largest city in Catalonia, after Barcelona and L'Hospitalet, and bears a proud heritage of its Roman founders. The Museum of Badalona is one of the hidden jewels of the region for lovers of the ancient world. Every year the Museum and the city team up to present the Roman Festival during the last weekend in April. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year is the 12th annual edition of the <i>Magna Celebracio Festival Roma de Badalona</i>. Discover the crafts and trades, daily routines and, naturally, the dress of the Romans. With events and workshops for people of all ages, it's a great way to get out of Barcelona without ever leaving a city, and to experience the traditions and heritage of the local culture in a once a year event!</div>

As the name suggests (vermut is vermouth in English), the idea is a social gathering for a drink. It can happen before or after a meal, although most commonly it's used by friends to meet up after work or on the weekend and just spend some time talking and hanging out.<br />
<br />
<br />
In fact, you don't even have to order vermouth (if, like some of us, you just don't like the taste very much). Have a glass of wine, or a beer, or even a coffee. The idea is really about being with friends and having a good time, not about what you are drinking.<br />
<br />
Here is a list of some of the best places to catch up with friends in the Mediterranean city of Valencia:<br />
<br />
Bar Vermudez: They make vermouth their specialty. With a wide variety of vermouths in a number of flavors, this is a great bar for non-vermouth lovers to find their own "vermut".<br />
<br />
En La Parra: This traditional tapas bar offers a local vermouth "made in Valencia", and is right in the heart of one of Valencia's best evening/nightlife areas. <br />
<br />
La Vida es Bella Vermuteria: Located on a pedestrian street in the quieter area of Benimaclet, a great choice for those looking for a more relaxed evening. For those looking to extend their meeting to include dinner, they offer a menu of the day.<br />
<br />
La Bernarda: Right in the heart of the city, in the Tapineria Market you will find this classic Valencia locale, where the owner makes a different rice dish every day and the serve a locally produced vermouth and some of the best sandwiches in the city.<br />

Throughout the month of April, visitors who take the opportunity to explore the Caves of Nerja just outside of Malaga will have an added bonus to their visit: for the first time ever several of the cave's larger caverns will be opened to the public. These newly opened rooms include the hole through which the caves were first re-discovered in the 1950s, as well as a look into the archeological dig and some of the oldest inhabitated areas of the cave, where people lived over 25,000 years ago!<br />

<br />
Just up the road from the ancient city of Cadiz is the town of Chipiona. This coastal town has a history almost a old as the city itself, and is home to a tradition that is even older: Muscat (Moscatel) wine producing in the region dates back to the Phoenicians. As producing wine has been a cornerstone of the region for as long as there have been people there, the Museum of Moscatel is much more than just a "wine" museum. It is a display of the tradition, culture and history of the region and its inhabitants.<br />
<br />
In the museum itself you will discover the traditions, festivals and culture that have grown side by side with the wine and which so infuse the people who live here. The museum offers seven distinct areas which explain everything from the science of winemaking through the centuries to a cultural wine route through the town.<br />
<br />
Only an hour and a half outside of Seville, the museum is great escape from the normal tourist routes and a wonderful way to discover more about the traditions and culture of the region.<br />

<br />
The city of Segovia has more than twenty Romanesque churches from the 12th and 13th centuries, which makes it the second highest concentration of these jewels in Spain, after Zamora. On the route that we proposing today you can discover five of these historical and architectural jewels. These fives temples offer a series of common features that fit them all into the same unique group: they are within the city walls and have atriums, porticos and feature open and attached arcades on the south side of the church, which could be used for civil purposes and local meetings, as well as the unique characteristic of the slenderness of the bell towers with numerous levels of arches.<br />
<br />
This is a circular route about 5 km long during which you will visit the following churches:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Church of San Clemente</b>. Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, it is a single nave with the apse facing south and a wide tower.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Church of San Millán</b>. The most impressive and monumental in Segovia. Located in the Medieval center, construction began in the year 1111 under the rule of doña Urraca and Alfonso I "El Batallador". Given the Aragonese roots of the king, the temple shows clear influences from Jaca. It has three naves with three apses. The tower dates from the previous building and is on the north side of the transept. Later on arched galleries were added along the northern and southern sides. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Church of San Esteban</b>. Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, the Church of San Esteban is a three nave church that maintains Romanesque elements such as the arched gallery and the majestic tower. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Church of the Holy Trinity</b>. This is a 12th century church, with an atrium open to the south, a common characteristic of the Segovian Romanesque.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Church of San Juan de los Caballeros</b>. The works of the headboards of the church date back to the 10th century and they reused the remains of the Visigoth basilica. During the 11th century the building was destroyed and the current central apse was built. Two centuries later the side apses, tower and southern atrium were added.</li>
</ul>

One of the best and most unique ways to get to know a city is by participating in one of the cultural or sports activities offered while you are visiting. Not only will you get to know the city better, you'll also have the chance to meet and get to know the people and the culture. Today we propose that you visit Malaga, one of the most beautiful cities along the Mediterrean. The "excuse" we are offering is a race that will take place on April 24 as a fundraiser in the fight against cancer. The 5k run will start at 10:00 along the Paseo Marítimo de Poniente (calle Pacífico).<br />
<br />
You can sign up for the run through its website (up to April 21): <a href="http://www.inacuamalaga.es/">http://www.inacuamalaga.es/</a><br />
<br />
Proceeds from the event will be dedicated wholly to the group "Unidos contra el Cáncer" made up of the principle organizations of Malaga working for people affected by cancer and their families.<br />
<br />

All around Spain, something is happenning at the local aquariums. For years people have been content to go to the many impressive aquariums around the country to see the diverse fish and different ecosystems that they have to offer. It is a surefire success to spend a few hours away from the heat of the midday sun or on a rainy day. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sharks have always been one of the big draws, with the shark tunnels becoming ever more popular as a way for visitors to feel even closer to the animals. Now, however, there is a new breed of adventurer visiting these aquatic havens. More and more people are looking for that unique thrill of a different experience, and the aquariums have stepped up to the plate. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In aquariums in Seville, Barcelona and Valencia, visitors are now being offered the chance to see how the underwater world changes away from the light of the day and the constant stream of visitors. Nighttime visits to the aquariums provide you with an in-depth look at the world most people don't get to see, at a time when many of the most interesting animals are most active. For the most daring divers, there is even the possibility of swimming with the sharks!</div>

The park, which is actually in the city itself, is an amusement park with a clearly Andalusian flair where you can enjoy shows with Andalusian horses with tradional music and of course, Flamenco dancing. Additionally, the park offesr different "themed" areas, including 'Sevilla, Puerto de Indias' (Seville, port to the Indies), where the setting is Seville in the 16th century, when it was the biggest city in the kingdom at the heigh of Spain's Golden Age. Other interesting areas are the 'Agua Mágica', the aquatic park with two waterfalls you go through as a way of greeting you to the area, and the 'Puerta de America', with the Fuerte de San Felipe (St. Phillip's Fort), a huge building that is a reproduction of the fortress at Cartagena.<br />

Las Fallas of Cordoba 2016<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EVGQPn7pgXE/VtR0o2CnClI/AAAAAAAAA3M/-CVi0IoYwvMG1cKQMLvxHYbNb3bQQP1xw/s1600/fallasvalencia2016.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EVGQPn7pgXE/VtR0o2CnClI/AAAAAAAAA3M/-CVi0IoYwvMG1cKQMLvxHYbNb3bQQP1xw/s400/fallasvalencia2016.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Las Fallas is one of the biggest and most famous celebrations in Spain. And they take place in Valencia every year in March. However, no one ever said that they only take place in Valencia. This year marks the fourth consecutive year that the group "Fallers pel Mon" (Fallas-makers of the World) will hold a second Fallas festival within Spain with the aim of helping the rest of the country to understand and appreciate the culture, language and traditions of Valencia. If you needed any further proof that Spain is a multiecultural and plurinational country, this is it.<br />
<br />
The idea of a "Plantà i Cremà" fallas celebration began in the city of Avila in 2013. Its resounding success and the interest it generated in Valenci's culture and heritage inspired the group to continue their endeavors over the next years, each time choosing a different national location. In 2014 it was the city of Granada, and in 2015 Toledo. This year the magic touches down in Cordoba, a city well-known for its own festivals and for the amiable nature of its inhabitants.<br />
<br />
From April 2 through April 4, Cordoba will host Valencian "Fallers and Falleras" who have come to proudly share their culture and their festival with other regions. In two intense days the Valencians will take locals through the highlights of the Fallas festival, including the <a href="http://thespanishtouch.blogspot.com.es/2016/03/what-is-ninot-or-mascleta-during-las.html" target="_blank">"Crida", "Plantà", "nit de foc" and the "Mascletá"</a>. There will even be the traditional floral offering to the Virgen.<br />
<br />
If you missed out on this year´s <a href="http://thespanishtouch.com/culture_fallas.htm" target="_blank">Las Fallas in Valencia</a>, this is a great way to see what it is all about. Discover just how diverse and unique is the country of Spain, and learn about the culture and traditions without having to leave Andalusia.<br />

The Iberian Lynx is considerd the most endangered feline in the world. The only known surviving members of this species are found on the Iberian Penninsula. In recent years a lot of efforts have been made to make sure the lynx doesn't disappear completely, and to raise awareness of the situation. One of the habitats of the lynx is Doñana Park, in Andalusia. In Seville this year, in the month of April the 5th annual International Seminary on the Conservation of the Iberian Lynx will take place, with the aim of designing a long term conservation strategy that will allow for the continuing of the work that has already begun and will facilitate the incorporation of new suitable places on the Penninsula for the lync to live (<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "myriad pro"; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">Castilla-La Mancha, Aragón, La Rioja, Valencia,…). In order to accomplish all this, the main idea behind the Seminar will be to determine the work needed to be done in order to move the Iberian Lynx from "endangered" to "vulnerable", as well as the financial aspect which would make the work possible. Coinciding with the seminar and also in Seville are the so-called 'Jornadas Iberlince', workshops directly basically at the younger public and done in a festive environment to help children learn about the lynx in a fun, dynamic environment. </span><br />

<br />
From the waters of Cancun, where we find the largest underwater museum in the world, to the waters of the not-less-exotic Lanzarote, we find Europe's largest underwater museum. The "Museum of the Atlantic", as it is known, of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands has a collection of 400 pieces by British artist Jason deCaires.<br />
<br />
This initiative is not just a way to add a little something extra to your visit to Lanzarote, in addition to enjoying this amazing show you will be collaborating with the research and understanding of the richness of the marine species and the sea bottom of Lanzarote since 2% of the profits go directly to the cause.<br />
<br />
