A hearty paella prepared on the ship

Una abbondante paella preparata in nave

A hearty paella prepared on board.
Every now and then, on board the Costa Crociere ships (depending on the itinerary), you can find this delight at the buffet.
A huge paella served with a smile by our on-board chefs!
This was prepared for the Costa Firenze Magnifico Buffet last year, when I was on board there.

Paella is a traditional Spanish dish made with rice, saffron, vegetables, meat and seafood. It originated in the Valencian Community and later spread throughout Spain, gaining popularity abroad, especially in the Mediterranean basin and Latin America. Etymologically, the Valencian word paella comes from the Latin patella, from which the French poêle, the medieval Spanish padilla and the Italian padella also derive.

Here is where the small village is located:

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

Alcune cascate nel Geirangerfjord in Norvegia

Alcune cascate che si ammirano nel Geirangerfjord in Norvegia

Alcune cascate che si ammirano nel Geirangerfjord in Norvegia.
Erano diversi anni che non percorrevo i fiordi a bordo di una nave e devo dire che è sempre una esperienza magica.
La scorsa stagione estiva infatti ero a bordo della Costa Firenze (di Costa Crociere) e per un mesetto sono riuscito a godermi il passaggio in uno dei fiordi più affascinanti: il Geirangerfjord.
Queste sono solo alcune delle mastodontiche cascate che dall’alto del fiordo cadono nel freddo mare norvegese.

Here is where the fjord is located:

The Geirangerfjord (Geirangerfjorden) is a fjord in the Norwegian region of Sunnmøre in the south of the county of Møre og Romsdal. It is a branch of the much larger Storfjorden and within it is the famous village of Geiranger. The fjord is one of the most visited natural sites in Norway and since 2005 it is included, together with the Nærøyfjord, in the List of World Heritage Sites drawn up by UNESCO. The presence of these two fjords in the list is however threatened by a plan to build some power lines through the fjord.

La Costa Firenze in arrivo a Copenhagen

La Costa Firenze in arrivo nel porto di Copenhagen lo scorso luglio

La Costa Firenze in arrivo nel porto di Copenhagen lo scorso luglio.
Il mio scorso contratto sono stato a lavorare sulla Costa Firenze (nave che era della Costa Crociere fino allo scorso gennaio – ora in Carnival).
Queste due foto le ho scattate dalla banchina aspettando mentre la nave stava facendo manovra per attraccare al porto di Copenhagen, in Danimarca.
Il mio primo giorno di contratto!
