Flanders explored by À Punt program through history and gastronomy

The À Punt travel program ‘Valencians al món’ explores the Flanders region of Belgium, focusing on its history, architecture, and gastronomy through the perspectives of Valencian residents living abroad.

In Antwerp, the program visits the Grand Plaza and explores the legend of Brabo, which is tied to the city's name. The tour also highlights the Zurenborg neighborhood, noted for its high concentration of Art Nouveau buildings, particularly around Cogels-Osylei Street.

The journey extends to rural Flanders, including Affligem, known for its brewing traditions linked to a Benedictine abbey, and a visit to a chocolate factory to observe the cocoa transformation process. In Brussels, the itinerary covers the Royal Square and the Grand Place, noting the historical influence and architectural traces left by the Spanish monarchy in the Low Countries during the 16th and 17th centuries.
