Just found a site that points out that chayote is plump at the bottom, while bladder fruit is plump at the top. This one, and the many others we saw, seems to be plump at the top (the point where it attaches to the stem).

Really tricky. White bladder fruit is also known as false choko, also from the new world, also a vine, not edible, so ??? Can you research a bit more and let us know. We don't have time here on the road.

I love castles. I take every chance I can to tell people about my four castle day - it was the highlight of the trip.

I hate to go contrary to Bill, he's an encyclopedia on so many things. It looks like a chayote to me. But, it's a gourd, so if you saw a tree, obviously not a chayote.

It sure seems like right one. Looks identical, grows in or near citrus orchards in sandy soil, etc. Thank so much, Bill.

Valencia looks like a fantastic place to start a tour from. I like to spend a few days at the start to allow my luggage to catch up (if it got left behind), put my bike together, and recover a bit from jet lag.

If you are ever in Valencia it is THE place to see, but leave yourself lots of time. We spent 3 and a 1/2 hours,nand felt a little rushed.

I might have found it... white bladder fruit.

I just added Oceanogràfic de València to my (long) list of things to see someday.

Appreciate the praise, Steve. Hope my comments are not taken in the “this is not cycling” logbook ..
