. for many of the spanish island of my york is the european destination for sea and sun. but it also has other treasures for travelers. especially for those who want to make their way from the capital palmer to the central town of so yeah, my journey begins in polymer. the capital of me. ok with the train has its very own station. or do you want to ride the train spontaneously? you can only buy tickets from the box up. so to avoid playing with fire, here's my pump to reserve you to get online up to 7 days before departure, because the train can get busy and no ticket, no train. everything looks like it's been frozen in time. the line has been in operation for over 100 years and runs on narrow gauge railway tracks. the more on that later, many trained carriages have been in service since the line began operating in 19

the zeros. i bought a return ticket to 32 years. there are only very few railway lines on the spanish island of may. ok, and this one is particularly beautiful. the news aspect tech given the on the right the the big getting from one carriage to the next can be

a bit challenging the on route to so you the rarely passes the teen tunnels and snakes around many the type bins. the narrow gauge train handles them easily, allowing it to make steeper sense in a short distance. the train climbs 200 meters. we can already catch a glimpse for you. did you know that the valley of so yeah, is also called the valley of gold. and so yeah, it's actually derived from the arabic wood. for golden valley is not exactly known why the arts cold, so yeah. so yeah, but it said that they are inspired by the color of olive oil and oranges, olives and oranges have been cultivated here for over

a 1000 years. to say that the come on tennis mountain range is listed as a unesco world heritage site because this mountainous terrain of his fruit trees, extra protection, the olives and oranges grew in his head to the especially error message. i really need to try some late to the an hour later we pulled into so yeah, train station the well, that was a really nice train right. in town, you can still get a sense of the wealth punched generated by the regions trade in citrus street.

the orange juice made as well famous. so yeah, the out the, the town also goes to street cause it looks like a miniature version of the twin this for you. i'm hoping a board to ride to port this. so you had some 5 columbus as a way back in the day this recall was also used to transport or in just a port from where they were shipped out to the well, the

that is a to then you, in these days, tourists and locals take the street car to relax by the sea side, the my trip on less than this. so yeah. was honestly full of it. i could have expected if it isn't enough to be on an antique train, you can then send an offer noon, exploring the small plane. so yeah, and then if it's a little bit too hot for you, the 3rd throw away is this beautiful spots when was the down at the port? well, no, it was one. you're stands for diversity and this is reflected partly in the cuisine . every country has its own specialties, what the italians called pizza, the people of george called car support. it's similar with go and cheese, but we find out what sets it apart from the rest, the who needs pizza. so when the georgians have catch up for

a contra pouring is one of george's national dishes and people are proud of it. but what makes it so special? we asked people around the capital. it's a blessing to find out how job moving catch up already is just the best that is good to really it's very tasty and every george, and if they're real, georgians loves catch reporting. you know, every region in georgia has its own variation on the day. we'll tell you why later . today we'll show you catch up for a guardian style. this bakery and the georgia and capital tbilisi specializes in catch reporting, picks up a heads up all the day, and then we should cut repore as part of the georgia dna. the ball, she'll be there when i was a child, and i used to make catch employee with my mother. and it's a very essential memory to meet and shimmer that, and that's what we had shipments hold on. just a few ingredients go into

a catch reporting. flower, yeast, salt water and of course, cheese. and that has to be georgia to make the treat a jury in style. and you also need to add an egg and a piece of butter. first of the flour and water permit the one month it's we add east and we start making the dough. the somebody don't move to stroke them so that the, you know, that the dough is ready when it starts being shining. this helps, and i'm sure that a ins the glue has done a real job for me. is that up? it's just uh, the most entity mine is it up even though it was somebody else. and that can take awhile as high. so it's when it looks like this, the go, isn't ready yet. the after that, the doe has to rise for 30 minutes time to stoke the wood fired up in

the after half an hour. the ball of dough is shaped into a flat bread. the number with us that she now we put the cheese inside and spread it with a spoon. there she the cell phone, i mean. so then we're going to fold it into the famous catch up hurry and shake with that because we fold the corners of dentists and stick the corners together. that's the so it has the shape of a boat. it's important to use equal amounts of cheese and go for the cats referring . the cheese is made from 2 different types of george and house male. once it's all put together, the lo fills into the oven for 15 minutes. while we're waiting, we try to find out about the other types of cuts reporting. researchers have discovered that there are 47 of them in the

reading style is round a flat and has cheese on top. it really looks like a pizza. awesome. it has several layers like amazon. yeah, each one is typical for a region. it's one level of control. that's why we georgians are so proud of it too much to live in some regions. there might be only one kilometer between different villages and by asking them and still the tradition and then go seems different. it goes 5. well, it sounds that it will that, that needs to be sure it has to do with our history about you must to what i told folks on the the route george in history we were separated and, and were united again to shane about. communication was not good, so the traditions and ingredients didn't mix what they're trying to to to unit. 15 minutes have gone by and the country reporting is almost done. now the bag and the piece of butter go on top. but how do you need it? so if we take the fork and knife and then put them

aside, i'm going to instead you rip off a piece of the bread from the edge and use it to stir the egg and the butter way liquid. mix it with the cheese on a cheat, then you use the piece of bread as a fork. the whether it's for a snack or as a side to a hearty meat dish. the people in georgia loved their catch reporting and eat it at any time of day and nearly any place african design or effect shown. okay, has found a nice in the interior, the core market, chicken lines, home textiles and accessories with west african elements. under the slogan, bringing color to life. we got a closer look at her designs. in her a stopped at home of london, the making life more colorful is what

london designer isa shall not get his set out to do. and she takes an approach all her own pass. it has to be the of my quote, everything that i am is reflected in these designs and it's such a great feeling that people respond positively to it. especially when i get launched her 1st collection in 2010 and scored an immediate hit, renounce stores carried her luxurious home textiles and accessories. now for designs are available world wide. recent achievements include collaborations with so home, the home furnishing line of the exclusive club. so house hotel and luxury design or bathroom maker c p heart. these are shown i guess, studied journalism and fell into design more or less by accidents that couldn't find the designs that i wanted. so i felt like why don't i designed it myself because in my head, i knew exactly what i wanted in barked on her creative journey and fry bork in southern germany, where she grew up,

the daughter of nigerian parents her father is an art historian. her mother, a pediatrician, travel, and visits to museums developed her interest in art and design. that was really from an early age, interested in interior design and in tex 1000 patton's, obviously west africa and the west african narrative of west african bay of life is for me at the pool of my walk buttons also by structured, very organized, which is i think it's a german elements which come into that and i think the combination of these 2 elements and mix it, i think so bus a tile. one of her inspirations is nigerian boutique and textile artist, chief new k davies, oakland dia, both our ethnic yorba a west african ethnic group with a highly rich culture. this includes the typical id or a fabrics made using indigo di techniques. these are also reflected in each of us designs. i mean, i'm not designing traditional african tech styles, but i'm trying to tell a story of,

of my tech styles. i think that my doing the mystic background comes in as well. the designer tell stories from her life and her creations. she draws inspiration from experience that she's had along the way. she doesn't tell these stories and words go through colors and shapes starting with the kind of but i'm in the idea else and take pictures of everything that inspires me. things that i see maybe a embroidery on a dress. so anything, once i'm happy with the design, then re enter, use the colors that i chose before and to that design. eva has no doubt that she's found her true colleagues, that everything she's done and has experienced over the years for childhood, for background. her experiences as a tv producer and fashion journalist has let her right to where she is. now. this is more than a business,

this is like an extension of myself and i think the self love and the self expression and sharing this obviously with other people sharing this mr. wells and i'm seeing depreciation. and the last that i'm getting really gives me go and gets me out of that everyday story telling is as old as human kind, but how we tell stories varies the special nike tells them through her african inspire designs. and with that, we wrap up another edition of your romantics. we hope you enjoyed the show. be sure to follow us on social media for more culture and lifestyle stories from europe. thanks for tuning in and join us again. next week, i'll say the same, the,
