I am in one of the main squares in Valencia. In fact, it is not the main one, but it is one of the most important, because here is the famous "La Estrecha" or in translation - The Narrow Building. Only 107 cm of the facade makes it one of the narrowest buildings in Europe, and probably in the world It says "Rebajas" on the door, that's actually sale in Spanish it refers to this building next door, but it certainly wasn't a material sale when they were building such a narrow building. Its competi
tion is a building in Poland that is 122 cm and in Amsterdam there is a very narrow building, which is 105 cm, however, it is only in the facade of that width in that part behind it expands into a normal-sized house And this house is built in such a way that the entire width is 107 cm. La Estrecha in Valencia. I studied this topic a little, but this is the second widest building in the world. The first is in Brazil, exactly one meter wide. The building "La Estrecha" was built as a family buildin
g. There was a jewelry store on the ground floor, and the other 5 floors were residential and people climbed the spiral stairs throughout the building. I guess the people who lived in this building were on a diet. When the hat shop next door was renovated in the eighties, they broke through the wall and expanded to this part of the house Another interesting building is the Corrida, the place where bullfighters and bulls fight. It was built between 1850 and 1860 This is one of the few bullrings i
n Spain that is still working. The vast majority are closed and bullfighting has been suspended. An integral part of the bullfight is the Taurino Museum, which displays famous bullfighters and matadors, as well as some famous bulls. Valencia continues the tradition, and bull races are held in the surrounding towns, in which every year someone gets killed. Matador clothing is also shown, many more details from this traditional fight are described, but filming is not allowed in most of the museum.
Entrance is free, so come on. Let's continue our tour of Valencia In the very center of the city there is a train station, in the Valencian language "Estacio Del Nord", in Spanish "Estacion Del Norte", meaning North station. It was built in 1851, and I was delighted by the fact that it was modernized inside, while preserving the original appearance. In front of the entrance, churos are offered to all passengers. It is a traditional Spanish sweet that everyone who visits Spain should try. These
are the famous churos and this is hot chocolate. And now the churros are dipped in hot chocolate and then we just look at them but of course they are also eaten Diet, great It's great Something like tulumba, similar, only tighter something between a donut and a tulumba, and the chocolate is superb. So here you go! Churos are waiting for you.
