2021-06-04T14:01:26+00:00

He continues by making us observe and feel the authentic Valencian "bomba" round-grain rice and the Asian long-grain rice, important when it comes to differentiate between a real cook and a cheating amateur: the long-grain rice can boil for hours and hours and [...]

The generosity of all interactions seemed to multiple as time went on from the locals to the fellow travellers. My aims were casual but clear, to see and experience to people and places (claro que si- of course), importantly: while learning Spanish. No matter [...]
