00:00Soy Lili Douse y este es Grand Voyager.
00:05Desde mi base en Qatar, he viajado el mundo a descubrir increíble lugares
00:09con cultura, luxurias y aventuras.
00:13Aún el camino, me encuentro el sabor y experimento los momentos
00:18que hacen cada destino unforgettable.
00:21Hoy, he viajado de Qatar a una ciudad mediterránea,
00:30viviendo con la historia, naturaleza y el olor de buen comida.
00:36Estoy aquí en Valencia, la birthplace de la paella,
00:39y una región que realmente celebrara la buenas cosas en la vida.
00:44En el camino de la ciudad histórica,
00:46se encuentran una sensación de la grandeza de la ciudad,
00:50de la ciudad histórica, de la ciudad histórica y de los iconos monumentos.
00:54Valencia es lleno de perfectos momentos.
00:57En este episodio, voy a descubrir sus hidden corners,
01:01sus vibrantos culturales y las personas que traen este ciudadano a la vida.
01:06Primero, he chequeado a mi hotel para mi stay aquí en Valencia.
01:10Este es Grand Hotel Centenario,
01:13un hermoso histórico de la ciudad en el corazón de la ciudad.
01:16I'm lucky enough to be staying in one of their premium suites.
01:21Its 1920s design captures all the glamour of its golden era.
01:26It has a retro feel and a beautiful view over the city's main square.
01:32Back out in the city, I'm on my way to meet Demi Benita,
01:36co-founder of Hotspot Valencia.
01:39She's promised to show me some of Valencia's must-see spots.
01:42Today we're going to the Old Town,
01:44we're going to taste some typical Spanish things,
01:47we're going to the Turia Park and, of course, the City of Arts.
01:51Valencia is full of surprises
01:53and Demi knows exactly where to find the city's best hidden gems.
01:59Well, we're here.
02:00This is the oldest bochateria.
02:02I can't wait to try this.
02:05Bochateria Daniel is one of the city's most celebrated spots.
02:08Opened since 1949, its recipes have been passed down through the family.
02:14This creamy Valencian drink is made from tiger nuts
02:17and is often paired with giant sugar-coated pastries called churros.
02:23Valencians have loved this simple combination for generations
02:26and it's easy to see why.
02:30Valencia's Old Town is full of flavour and charm,
02:33but there's still much more to see
02:35and Demi has the perfect idea for exploring further.
02:39So Valencia is the city to bike,
02:41so let's hop on a bike and discover the city.
02:43I am so ready to do this.
02:46First up on our cycle tour is Mercado de Cologne,
02:50a historic market hall in the heart of the Old Town.
02:53It's a stunning building and one of Demi's favourite spots.
02:57So it's made by a Valencian architect
02:59and on that side you see the clothes
03:01and then you have the oranges and also the cows.
03:05Valencia by bike is the best way to explore.
03:08One moment you're surrounded by towering buildings,
03:11the next you're gliding through the city's parks.
03:15This futuristic complex is the city of arts and sciences,
03:19one of Valencia's most iconic sights.
03:21And it's here that my tour with Demi comes to a close.
03:24It's been wonderful discovering the best of Valencia's landmarks
03:28and hidden spots.
03:30Valencia truly is a city that lives for food
03:33and nowhere is this expressed more creatively
03:36than at Ricard Camarena restaurant.
03:40Ricard is known for transforming simple local ingredients
03:43into something extraordinary.
03:45Today I'm taking a step into his kitchen
03:48and of course doing some tasting.
03:51Hello Ricard, thank you so much for having me.
03:54Thank you for visiting us.
03:55This double Michelin-starred restaurant
03:57sits alongside an art gallery,
03:59a fitting setting for a chef who turns flavour into art.
04:06In the kitchen, Ricard's team make the most of every ingredient,
04:10a core part of his sustainable philosophy.
04:14They create dishes inspired by the seasons
04:16and each one is carefully crafted
04:18and rich in Valencian character.
04:21Today, I'll learn how to prepare a special dish
04:25guided by Ricard himself.
04:27This is our signature dish
04:29and this is a Valencian oyster
04:31and it's very sweet.
04:33We prepare with avocado, galanga root, lemon and oil.
04:38We mix all together.
04:40Getting hands-on with a two Michelin-star chef
04:43is a little intimidating,
04:44but Ricard puts me at ease, guiding me through each step.
04:49This is avocado and galanga oil.
04:52Mmm, it smells amazing already.
04:54With the main ingredients mixed and prepared,
04:57Ricard shows me how to plate the oyster dish.
05:00It's surprising how much precision goes into every detail.
05:04I'm pretty proud of this, Ricard.
05:06What do you think?
05:07It's very good for the first time.
05:09Now I get to try some of Ricard's creations.
05:13Each dish looks incredible.
05:15Loaded with layers and textures,
05:17you can really feel the passion that's gone into every dish.
05:20It's pure perfection.
05:23And the dessert is manga, green curry, seeds and herbs.
05:29Thank you so much.
05:30The best ending for an incredible dinner.
05:32Thank you.
05:33Thank you.
05:33Ricard and his team are truly masters of their craft,
05:37turning simple, local ingredients
05:39into extraordinary works of art.
05:44Just outside Valencia lies Albuferra,
05:47a vast freshwater lagoon.
05:50This beautiful landscape is home to farms and wildlife.
05:54To learn more about this special place,
05:56I'm meeting Ian, founder of Very Valencia,
06:00who knows every hidden corner of the lagoon
06:02and its cultural significance.
06:04Well, we're here in the rice fields of La Albuferra in Valencia,
06:08which is where they grow the rice to make the best paella,
06:12which hopefully we'll get to try later.
06:14But first, let's go out on the boat, have a look at the lake.
06:17I think that's a great idea.
06:19Let's do it.
06:20Ian and his team offer tours and experiences
06:23that reveal the authentic side of Valencia and its surroundings.
06:27These waters have shaped local communities for centuries,
06:32and many of their age-old techniques are still alive today.
06:36So here, Lily, right behind us, we've got some fishing nets.
06:40Now, the fishermen here have been using this technique
06:41for over 700 years to catch eels.
06:45So you can't see it, but under there,
06:47there's like net tunnels,
06:48which get tighter and tighter and tighter.
06:51The eel goes in and it can't get out.
06:53What significance does this area have for the local people,
06:58the people from Valencia?
07:00Well, a lot of Valencians that live in the city
07:02would come here for lunch.
07:03It's known as the place to go for a paella
07:05and just have a nice day out.
07:07Around 140 million square metres of Albuferra's wetland
07:11are devoted to rice cultivation,
07:13producing roughly 120 million kilograms each year.
07:17I mean, the city, you can see it there on the horizon.
07:20That's how close we are,
07:20but you feel like you're in another world here.
07:22It's a privilege to have this so close to the city.
07:25We're very lucky.
07:26A lot of visitors to Valencia, they miss it
07:27because they're concentrating on the city,
07:30but this is such a hidden gem.
07:31You can come, you can have lunch
07:32or you can just go out on the boats,
07:33you can explore the fields,
07:35you can visit the historic buildings.
07:36There's so much to do here.
07:38It's hard to believe this peaceful place
07:40is so close to the city.
07:41You can see why locals love to come here
07:44and enjoy the beautiful nature.
07:46It's truly stunning.
07:48Close by in the nearby village of El Palma,
07:51Ian has arranged for us to try authentic paella,
07:54the dish that made Valencia world famous.
07:58So here we have chicken.
08:01We've got chicken, we've got rabbits
08:02and the snails in there as well.
08:05This is a real Valencian paella.
08:08The rice is from the fields out there.
08:10This dish is a symbol of Valencia's identity,
08:13simple ingredients brought together
08:15to create something truly iconic and delicious.
08:21Just an hour from Valencia,
08:23tucked away in the mountains,
08:25is the beautiful village of Chulilia.
08:27With its whitewashed houses and terracotta rooftops,
08:31this village looks like something straight out of a postcard.
08:35It's quiet, peaceful and full of charm.
08:38The perfect place to wander and explore.
08:42Walking through Chulilia,
08:43you really feel like you're stepping back in time.
08:46The old narrow streets,
08:48the incredible buildings
08:49and the jaw-dropping views.
08:52You can really see why people love this place.
08:54Today, I'm meeting Dimitri Blatov,
08:59a local resident and founder of Valencia Mountain Enthusiast.
09:03He's going to show me some of the best spots around Chulilia.
09:08Dimitri has been living here for over seven years,
09:11long enough to know every hidden area
09:13and quiet street in the village.
09:16Chulilia sits roughly 400 metres above sea level
09:19and has just a few hundred inhabitants.
09:22At its peak, it's the village's most historic site,
09:26known locally as the Arabic Castle.
09:28So here we are in the incredible castle walls.
09:31Can you tell me a little bit about the history?
09:33Yeah, so the town, the village and the castle
09:36date back to the 13th century.
09:39So it's more than 800 years old.
09:41And this was protecting the village, right?
09:43Yeah, so the main role of the castle
09:46was a defensive fortress to protect the people living here
09:49and later the village itself.
09:52The fortification was originally constructed
09:54during Spain's Islamic period,
09:57when this whole area was part of Al-Andalus.
10:00Today, only parts of the old fortress remain,
10:03but you can still feel the history around you.
10:07After scaling the heights of the mountain,
10:09it's time to head down towards the river
10:11and these winding stairs are not for the faint-hearted.
10:16This is Chulilia's most famous hiking route,
10:19a trail that crosses a series of suspension bridges
10:22high above the canyon.
10:23I do have a fear of heights,
10:25but today I'm facing my fears.
10:29This area has become a favourite for adventurers,
10:32hikers and climbers from around the world.
10:35The river here flows all the way to Valencia
10:38and out to the Mediterranean Sea.
10:41Over the years, it's shaped this spectacular canyon.
10:44The path continues down through the gorge.
10:47You pass old walkways and river branches
10:50and eventually under a natural rock arch.
10:53Fascinating sights that make this trail so unique.
10:56A little further on is a stunning blue lagoon,
11:00the perfect place to swim in the summer.
11:03So this is the blue lagoon.
11:05It is indeed.
11:06Charco Azul, it's called.
11:08You see that there's a dam behind us
11:09that's a Moorish dam built back in 12th century.
11:13And the Arabic word for dam is azut.
11:17So the name comes for Charco Azut.
11:20Later, people started calling it Charco Azul,
11:22referring to the colour of the water.
11:24So it changed over time.
11:25Fed by natural springs and surrounded by mountains,
11:30this lagoon is one of Valencia's most beautiful spots.
11:35What an incredible way to end my journey
11:38with breathtaking views like this.
11:41Valencia truly doesn't disappoint.
11:43From its incredible food and culture
11:46to hidden gems like this,
11:48I'll definitely be coming back.
11:50And as they say in Valencia,
11:52hasta la próxima.
11:54Until next time.
