Since this is a popular walking route for both locals and tourists, its improvement was considered vitally important, yet unfortunately the necessary work was delayed by a bitter ten-year dispute over the ownership of the land.

If so, he would have underestimated the pride local people continue have in their town and its origins and traditions. What’s more, given the Spanish penchant for celebrations and festivities an event such as a 400th anniversary is something that fires the imagination.

The much-heralded vaccine against malaria was developed in Spain along with the surprising discovery that human beings can be divided into types according to their intestinal flora, in a manner similar to the divisions drawn by blood grouping. Previously it was thought that each person's intestinal flora was unique.

It comes in the form of the official figures released on tourism numbers for 2011, which show an increase in arrivals of 7,7% over 2010, culminating in a total of 56 million visitors last year.

Since Quique Dacosta’s Mercatbar was very much on our ‘to-do’ list we were happy to abandon our original plans and give this very Spanish interpretation of the deli-cum-gastro-bar concept a try. Quique Dacosta Much like his Andalusian contemporary Dani García, Quique Dacosta is a young Michelin-star chef who early in his career established a reputation as an exciting new talent. Like his colleague, Dacosta has honed his skill as a talented and innovative creator of modern dishes – someone who leads the way in the new world of cuisine – yet he also shares a passion for those traditional recipes and ingredients that form the basis of Mediterranean cuisine.

At a time when construction, finance, IT and many of the other economic staples of recent times are suffering severe contractions it is good to note that there are still sectors out there that are showing impressive growth. The fact that some of the most successful drivers of growth are in the Valencia region, and that they focus on sustainable industries such as agriculture, makes it even better news. The fast-growing supermarket chain – also from the Valencia region – was searching for a partner that would work closely alongside it in providing a wide range of fresh, unprocessed vegetables that offer a healthy nutritional option combined with ease of preparation in fast-boil, microwave, grill and ready-to-eat variations.
