family trip. It also offers amazing underwater tubes, so you can have the great
experience of the sea life. On the other hand, it has the shape of the huge
jellyfish.

soil. Moreover, there is a stunning rococo facade of the National Museum of
Ceramics, whose series make shadow over nearby pastry shop windows decorated
with marble. It should be said that the architects had incredible inspiration.
On the other hand, there are magnificent signs of the past which constantly
attract attention.
There is a huge Gothic cathedral with the bell tower, which lets the light

attract fans of paella with rabbit and discover the secrets of their avant-garde
cuisine. Many famous people from the city make reservations for these
restaurants.
Paella-Spain in your Plate
The specialty of Valencia is round rice. It comes from the rice fields of
Albufera, which were made by Arabs in the distant past. However, in the vicinity
of El Palmar, just fifteen minutes from the historical center of Valencia Kaska
Antigua, you can try the best paella in the country. Paella is gathering the
best products of Spain.
Therefore, paella combines the products from the shore (fish and seafood)
that perfectly agree with those from the continental parts (beans, beets,
chicken, rabbit, snails, frog legs). Moreover, the local recipes include
ingredients such as fat eel, saffron, and fabulous mountain snails (called
baqueta, which can be purchased at the Central market).
