Hello everyone! Today, I wanted to share some photos of places I've visited recently. The first place we went to is a medieval bell tower. The bells have been modernized and are automatic now, but they are still big and interesting. You can see the thickness of the walls.
Let me also show you the old key they used to open this tower. Here it is, a medieval key. From here, you can look in different directions and there's also a beautiful view in this direction. The weather is cloudy today, but you can still see pretty far.
Below there’s a fairground, but due to the bad weather, there are fewer vendors this time. Up high, life is a bit different and there's a beautiful view. You can also see the mechanism that shows the time here, a mechanism found in bell towers. You can see this as the hands of the clock move. The tower has quite an interesting structure. There’s also an old door and the area you enter through was once used as a castle. The walls are quite solid and there are even armored walls.
We decided to cook some meat and there are a few picnic areas around us. In every neighborhood there are such places that can be used for free. You just need to leave it clean afterwards. However, the locals say that cooking is prohibited when the wind is strong. But in some places, these areas might be closed because of the wind. There’s water, trash bins and tables here. There are places for everyone to come and relax.
Now I want to talk a bit about Valencia. I visited here for the first time 7 years ago, how time flies! The Serranos Towers and Turia Park here still stand the same. However, the day after our visit, this area experienced a once-in-a-century flood disaster. Unfortunately, many people were affected.
What we should do is value our loved ones, make life meaningful and live every moment with care. Everything is really fragile. By the way, I received a gift from my boss at work – Spanish mushrooms. He picked them himself. I don’t know much about mushrooms, but I love eating them. We cooked them with garlic. These mushrooms are sometimes called Ribos or Kostyana.
In Spain, you need a license to pick mushrooms. Of course, locals sometimes pick them without a license, but I want to remind you that it should be done according to the rules. It's something similar to a fishing license. If everything is done legally, there shouldn’t be a problem.
That’s all for today. I hope you found it interesting. See you soon!
