The boys were given a scavenger hunt for our last morning in Seville. They worked in pairs and had a long list of tasks which involved taking pictures and videos with their smartphones. We then said goodbyes to the host families and headed for the train station. A high speed train made relatively short work of a long distance trip to Valencia.
Today we had a market tour with one of Valencia's best chefs, Jordi Morera. Particularly interesting is when he opened up two fish of the same breed. One from a fish farm and one wild caught. As the pictures show, the farm fish is full of globs of fat while the wild caught is lean. He gave us a complete tour of what is arguably Europe's best market. We then went to his restaurant and did a tasting of olive oils, ham, cheese and conserved fish. We left and then returned for a feast which featured several appetizers and a "meloso" which is a rice dish like a paella but with more broth.
