olive! The path of the thousand-year-old olive tree
A journey along the legendary thousand-year-old Olive Road! In the past, olives came to Spain via the Mediterranean Sea, and Peniscola was the center of olive trade. There, you can taste the dazzling Mediterranean Sea, the island-like village scenery, and Boquerones en Vinagre. It is a food made by pickling anchovies in vinegar and olive oil. A fragrant olive flavor that fills your mouth! When you come here, sit in a restaurant with a beautiful view and taste olive dishes.
A sudden separation from my father… I see an olive tree that is said to have lived for a thousand years, think of my father, and walk along the path of a thousand-year-old olive tree. The olive tree that became a legend after surviving for a thousand years in a barren wasteland also resembles her father.
Spaniards eat three to five meals a day. Olive dishes and olive oil always appear on the table. You can taste foods that use olive oil that we didn’t know about.
Following the colorful houses, we reach Villajoyosa. It is said that each house is a different color so that fishermen who go out to sea can easily find their houses! Mr. Marcos, a former fisherman and the village’s all-rounder, whom I met by chance at the fish market. He is invited to the house and tastes the best Spanish food of his life using olives.
Valencia is busy welcoming spring! From February to March 19, Fallas, the fire festival, takes place. If you don’t want to miss the colorful fireworks and people in unique outfits, check the event schedule on the Valencia Tourism Office website.
Albufera, a freshwater lagoon and nature reserve in the province of Valencia. They say that Albufera’s eel is second only to the most delicious in Spain. Let’s go eel fishing with Alejandro, who has been involved in the fishing industry for four generations. What does Spanish eel taste like?
