My fiancée joined me there and when we got to the city, they were celebrating a holiday, Las Fallas, so there were fireworks, celebrations, burning of the fires and everything like that. It was a coincidence that our hotel was right beside one of the neighborhoods that was celebrating, so we really just pulled up on it.
My fiancée had been to Spain years ago, specifically Valencia, so when we got there, she was able to reminisce on her time there and really just take that culture back in. Experiencing a city like that together was special – trying new foods, learning the traditions and, as they say here in Spain, enjoying life and taking it one day at a time.
It's been great to share these memories with her because as we all know, time like this is very limited, especially as we get back to football season.
I think our favorite part overall is the food. I don't think I've had one bad meal here and I'm not even exaggerating. Everything tastes so fresh, and you feel great after every meal. I've definitely been trying different Spanish dishes while also having more standard foods like steak or fish. We've been to some great spots and all the food has been fire.
