I am delighted to received my Very Important Guests with her family at the end of September. As usual, I was the local tour guide and also planned a weekend road trip.
We spent a few days in Madrid to shop and tour the city along Gran via, Sol and Callao. Not forgetting Serrano and Goya too.
When visiting Madrid, I would recommend some dishes that you should try. Churros at San Gines is a must. It is opened 24hr by 7days. Next is to try Paella, the ones with rabbit meat, you probably have tried but not aware of it. It taste like chicken. The one with black squid ink is very delicious too. Apart from all these, you should also try the Cochinillo asado (roast piglet), Chopitos (fried baby squids), Bocadillo de calamares (deep fried squid sandwich) and many more. I believe you can find all the information on the internet easily.
As we have three young children, we decided to drive to Valencia to visit the Oceanografic of the City of Arts and Sciences. It is the largest in Europe. Click for more info
For nice paella, please head to the beach. Many said that the ones along the beach are nice but the there are many and we just chose one based on our guts feel. We had our dinner at Restuarante La Murcian. I strongly recommend this restaurant, the food is so nice that we returned the next day for lunch and their service is good too
We left Valencia with a big smile. Our children enjoyed the aquarium and adults filled our tummy with the delicious paella and more. See pictures below. We returned to Madrid while my friend and her family took a train to Barcelona before returning to Madrid for her last minute shopping.
