In Valencia, Spain, the official languages are Valencian and Spanish. Valencian is a bit different than Spanish because it is a dialect of another language named Catalan. Even though these are the official languages, I often hear people talk in English at school!
The type of money that is used here is the euro. The currency goes as small as a one cent coin and as large as a 500 euro bill. Each bill has different sizes and colors, kind of like a rainbow! The larger the bill, the greater the value it has.
In a supermarket, a 1.5-liter bottle of water typically costs around 0.3 to 0.6 euros, which is worth about 0.33 to 0.65 dollars.
I would say the best meal I had this week would be the fideuà de mariscos (Spanish fideuàwith seafood) that I made with my study abroad cooking class! We also made Valencia’s traditional dish, called paella Valenciana, at the same time. Both dishes tasted super amazing, which makes me excited for my next cooking class!
