Fat broad beans slow-cooked in a herby broth and beer at La Pilareta, which has been going for a century. The big speciality here is mussels, however. There’s a long marble bar, a row of low hexagonal tables and grey plastic troughs on the floor to chuck your mussel shells in. And great old-school barmen. Not fancy, just fabulous. Love it. #lapilaretavalencia #barpilar #valencia #spanishfood #cocinaespañola #cocinavalenciana #cocinatradicionalespañola #spain #visitspain

Carmeleta Spritz - @carmeleta_spirit orange aperitif with cava. Lovely, made with natural ingredients, no added sugar, in the Valencia region #carmeletaspritz #Valencia #igersvalencia #igersvalència #igersvalenciaspain

There’s a secret garden at the back of the @bombasgens contemporary art museum in Valencia. This is one of two bronze ‘water channels’ by the leading Spanish artist @cristinaiglesiasestudio inspired by the curve of the city’s Turia river, recreating the undulating reeds of the river bed #bombasgens #bombasgenscentredart #cristinaiglesias #Valencia #art #spain #igersvalencia #igersvalència #igersvalenciaspain

The magnificent @palaciodeliria in Madrid opened its doors to the public yesterday. Home to the Duke of Alba and headquarters of the Casa De Alba foundation, it contains one of the best private art collections in the world, with paintings by Rubens, Titian, El Greco, Velázquez and Goya. I had a mooch around yesterday (link in bio). #PalaciodeLiria #LiriaPalace #CasadeAlba #Madrid #madridmemata #igersmadrid #madridmemola
