Valencia: “incredible but true”

We are keeping pretty busy on the blog with our mini Eurotrip. After, Dublin, Dénia and parts of Belgium, here is Valencia’s turn!

Instituto número 3

This building is the third and most recent high school built in Dénia, Spain.

La photo du mois: Soyez créatifs à la maison

This is my twenty-sixth participation in the “photo of the month” challenge. Since this is a French-speaking group, I put the translation below. On the 15th of every month, bloggers from all over the world post a photo on a predetermined subject. This month’s topic is “Be creative at home.”

Bous a la mar 2015

Bous a la mar is part of the Festa Major (Fiestas Mayores in Spanish) celebrated in Dénia on the second Wednesday following San Pedro. The celebration lasts the whole week with various events.

Unidentified creatures

I spotted two creatures I can’t name while on vacation in Spain this past summer. Maybe you guys can give me a little help.

Spain: a potpourri of Denia and Alicante

I had the opportunity to go back to Spain a couple weeks ago and took a few photos, though a lot fewer than the first time I went this year.

Documenting the lobster killing in Spain

This was a first for me. I’m currently on vacation on the Costa Blanca in Spain, and we went to the supermarket to buy some live lobsters. We then went back home and proceeded to kill them in the kitchen with a knife.

España: all around Denia

This is the last post about Denia that I’ll share in a while.

España: Denia by the seaside

You are probably tired of seeing pictures of Denia, but I thought you’d be able to hang in there and see a few more. JK.

España: taken from Denia’s fort -a bird’s-eye view

So Denia has a fort, and these pictures were taken while I was visiting the fort. Pretty straight forward, right?

España: flea market and farmers market

This is yet another post about my trip to Spain. Expect a few more cause I couldn’t bring it down to a minimum. The photos are kinda cool and I want to share them with you guys. In this post, you’ll take a Friday morning walk through the flea market and the indoor/outdoor farmers market in Denia.

España: reporting from the seafood auction

I’d never been to one of those, and it’s kind of interesting to see how it works. At the end of each day, the fishermen come back from from the sea and try to sell what they fished at the best price possible. To do so, they unload their fish from their boats and bring it to what is called the outcry market. There, professionals bid on the price of the fish.

España: Teulada

It’s Teulada‘s turn to get its own post on my blog. While visiting Spain last week, I spent a day there and went to the local flea market. I also went to a great seafood restaurant owned by a French guy.

España: Jàvea

Last week, I visited a few towns on the Costa Blanca in Spain. In this first Spanish post, I’m taking you to Jàvea (Xàbia in Valencian).
