Pretty neat stunt from this Street Artist from Valencia. He is called Escif and he used to live right in my neighborhood before we moved. I saw his work all over the place.

This weekend we took a little daytrip north of Valencia to visit Peñiscola:
About 90 minutes north of Valencia, Peñíscola makes for a wonderful day trip. The layout of the city is crazy… it’s a small island which just happens to be connected to the mainland by a narrow stretch. …

Calatrava’s tourist magnet in Valencia is the City of Arts and Sciences, a collection of insanely designed buildings which cost a fortune a day just to maintain.

Valencia is holding it’s very first German Beerfest – the Oktoberfest. Of course we went and it was bizarre. The tent was put up in the center of the bullfight arena. No German Blasmusik but almost as crazy as the real thing.
I’m German and it’s a shame I …

Before we moved to Valencia we haven’t even heard anything about Fallas. Neither our french bulldog Chucky but she learned fast to hate it. Why? Because of this for example:

But after the second time with Fallas around she kind of got used to the constant firecrackers and she gladly …

And I thought I was geeky. So Valencia in that week is host of the fastest internet connection in the world with something like 8,2 GB/s and the result of that are many, many connections to Asia … for some reason:
