This fisherman is trying for his daily catch on Valencia’s River Túria. I found him on the staircase of the Horchateria Santa Catalina.
Horchateria? Yes: it’s a café where you go to drink horchata, a traditional Valencian drink made with dried and sweetened tiger nuts. It’s rather good, if a little sweet.
Anyway, we were just leaving after our break when we spotted this bucolic scene. And it reminded me that we haven’t yet gone for a walk along the Túria, Valencia’s river-that-is-not-a-river. More of that tomorrow.
Today’s Ragtag Challenge is ‘River’.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
What interesting places there are to eat and drink, I must try and go to Valencia before I get too doddery!

Susan, I think it would be right up your street. Not too big to be daunting. Not too overwhelmingly touristy. The pleasures of mooching in such an attractive town are many, and there are enough sites to keep Amy culture-vulture happy. I haven’t written much about them this time, having done so last November. And food? Yum.

I like those decorative painted tiles. I had to look up tiger nuts. Now that I know they are tubers from a certain kind of sedge, I will be looking into the sedges growing wild in our garden …

I gather the indigenous sedges here are not the same species, but there are local species in South Africa that have been used traditionally as a staple food.

Do you think horchata would make a similar milk substitute such as they now make with almonds or even oats?

I’m not aware of its coming in any other form than the sweetened drink. Dunno is the short answer.

I think it was our duty to do this particular piece of research, don’t you?
