Valencia part 5

After the Paella making class, we walked to the other side of town to see the opera house and cultural center.  

This is a picture of the area that we took during our flight in. 

A few more odds and ends...

I liked the design of this bottle

I got some Horchata. In Spain, they drink it with a pastry called a "farton" so I had to try that, too.

 We took a class on how to make Paella.  It was fun, but I'm sure I'll never make it again.  

First we met at the Russafa Market. 

Then we walked over to the kitchen where we made the food.  Look at how enormous this pan is.  

Here's Milena's daughter grating a tomato.

And Milena stirring the beans

The finished product. 

Our paella was made with chicken and rabbit, and they added snails at the end.  I did eat the rabbit (but pretended it was chicken), but didn't eat the snails.
