Valencia Journal is a slow travel project. Here, we explore Mediterranean traditions, handcrafted work, art, contemporary architecture, and local stories.
Hi! I’m Alona, and I love starting the day with breakfast on one of the sunny terraces (a nice tostada con tomate, of course). Afterwards, I pass by the library next to my house and, in the afternoon, I head over to the oldest bakery Alfonso Martínez to buy some bread and perhaps a sweet treat (a ‘valenciana’, for example).
And just like that, almost without realizing it, this routine has become part of my job.
Well, almost... I'm also a journalist; earned a master's degree in Cultural Heritage (UV) in 2016, and I am official tour guide of Valencian Region.
