Kingdom of Rice: Valencia, Spain
Valencia is the biggest producer of rice in Spain. There are over 50,000 acres of rice fields in the small area. Valencia has a rich agricultural climate that is enhanced by the breezes off of the Mediterranean. It’s most famous rice is Bomba, which is recommended for Paellas. Most of the rice grown in this region is a short to medium grain. It is very flavorful with a meaty texture. We use our round short grain rice for any type of rice dish. The Calasparra rice, named after the town that it comes from, is also a delicious rice. Cooking suggestion: We always use three parts liquid to one part rice with all of the short to medium grains.
We are offering a special on our rice. Get 4 of our rice selections for just $29.95. Visit www.comidaespana.com and order today!

Energía
When driving throughout southern Spain, we noticed all of the renewable energy systems that where in place from the wind turbines interlaced with the historical wind mills to the solar farms located just outside of many of the small villages.
Spain uses 12.5% of it’s energy from renewable energy at this time. It’s the 3rd biggest producer of wind energy in the world. (behind United States and Germany) It was the first country to install “solar power towers: PS10”. We saw these towers from a distance. The 40-story concrete tower collects sunlight from a field of over 600 huge mirrors. Their solar reflection is so powerful, we thought we were looking at a huge bridge with massive cables. We were informed that what we were seeing were the rays reflected back to the storage tower. Amazing!
