I never knew that! Outside our window is a paddy field – in fact for about a mile in front of the window there are paddy fields.
As soon as you start to think about it – suddenly paella makes sense – but still a bit of trivia I did not know!
Apparently the Valencia region is the best rice in Spain (but they would tell me that wouldn’t they!).
Other farming trivia I have found out – they have three harvests a year here – and it seems almost everything can be grown here. I had honestly never thought about agriculture in Spain – but apparently they are one of the largest agricultural producers in Europe!
That is the end of “Farming Today” from Spain.
