Travel Man: 48 Hours in... 6x2 - Valencia

    

Richard Ayoade is joined by comedian Sara Pascoe for a two daytest of the mini break merits of Valencia, Spain's thirdlargest city. After dropping their bags at the sumptuous HotelCaro, they set off along the path of the Turia river. Untilthe 1950s it flowed through the city, but was diverted after adisastrous flood. Now it's a nine kilometre park, which Sarahand Richard explore by four wheeled bike, pausing at ParkGulliver for a slide. Valencia is the birthplace of paella, soRichard enrols them at paella school to make authentic andvegan versions of the dish. Halfway through cooking they areforced to dance, a ritual they are assured improves theflavour. Valencia's motto is 'live without sleep' so Richardand Sarah try a sip of the city's nightlife when they order around of Agua de Valencia. This innocent looking drink is madeof cava, gin, vodka, fresh orange juice and sugar and leavesRichard and Sara in pieces.
