Spanish food is diverse among its several regions and with complexity in flavor and history. Like all Mediterranean cooking, the cuisine highlights each fresh ingredient of the best quality.
Valencian cuisine emphasizes fish and seafood of the Mediterranean Sea, meats from the land, and the fruits and vegetables of La Huerta, the farming area surrounding the city (known in Valencian as L’Horta de València) which expands beyond Greater Valencia and includes L'Albufera Natural Park.
Historically, the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, and Jews each made contributions, but the Moors, who ruled for over 700 years, most significantly impacted Valencian flavors and ingredients found today when they brought rice, fruit, nuts, spices like saffron, and cooking methods to the region. After they discovered the New World, Christian Spain brought back potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, paprika, and chocolate used throughout Spain today.

As a designer, I've traveled throughout Europe and the Western world to learn about architectural products and methods. Now as a luxury travel advisor, I share culturally enriching experiences that aren't necessarily opulent but are focused on quality and authenticity. The best way to understand the world is to experience the unique aspects of places with an open mind and heart.

Over the years, my travels—along with a career in architectural design and hospitality—have deepened my appreciation for the fine details and quality that define exceptional experiences.

I built AMG Inspired to create quality architecture and support sustainable tourism defined as “tourism that respects both local people and the traveler, cultural heritage and the environment.”
