This weekend, food enthusiasts will be piling into the vast, early 19th-century spaces of the Stazione Leopolda in Florence for Taste, the city’s annual gastro-fest.
The event, now in its 10th year, sees producers and industry pros, plus an estimated 10,000 visitors, come from all over Italy and beyond for two-and-a-half days of tastings, round-table discussions and food chat. Tickets cost €20 (€15 if you book at pittimmagine.com) and allow you to feast on free tastings of the best gourmet food Italy has to offer.

Taste is open on Saturday and Sunday from 1.30pm-7.30pm and on Monday from 9.30am-4.30pm.

Spain's third city was established by the Romans, occupied by Muslims, and won for Aragon in 1238, when its influence grew until it was one of the most important Mediterranean cities of the 15th century. These days, it attracts nearly 2 million international visitors per year (about 80,000 from the UK). Many come for the extraordinary Las Fallas in March, a wild five-day fiesta in honour of San José, when hundreds of giant puppets are paraded and set on fire. But it is a party town all-year round – and if you miss Las Fallas, you can always visit the Museo Fallero to see the ninots (figurines) that have survived the flames. 9.30pm Head out to bar-hop and eat tapas in the Ciutat Vella (old town). 10am Spend the morning exploring the old town, where all the sights are within walking distance.

Not everything is quite so picturesque: on a drive around the small island I spotted three Tescos (Tesco Lotus, as they are called here). At a local coconut plantation monkeys are trained to climb the palm trees to bring down the coconuts.
