Off the Mediterranean coast, lies the charming, vibrant, flavorful city of Valencia, the third largest city in Spain. In getting to know the Valencian local gastronomy, you’ll find that there is something for everyone no matter your tastes. Like many Spanish cities, tapas in Valencia are worth sampling and provide the opportunity to get to know the local cuisine in a variety of small bites. Tapas culture allows any group to socialize, savor a city’s flavors, and try a little bit of everything.
After tapas or when venturing out for a heftier meal, you will not be disappointed in the variety of options in Valencia. As home to the famous Spanish paella, Paella Valenciana is a must try for those who want to experience this blended dish of meats, beans, spices, or its seafood counterpart.
Valencia’s food culture extends far beyond paella. Since rice is grown locally, rice dishes are not just limited to paella. You will find arroz al horno, a rice dish distinct from the traditional paella, or fideuà, a seafood dish with a noodle base. Given its location on the Mediterranean Sea, fish and seafood are top choices when menu searching Valencian restaurants.
On the sweeter side of Valencia, citrus fruits stand out in this region. Beyond the city limits, oranges are grown throughout the Valencia region and travelers may want to explore these orange groves on a deeper level.
Agua de Valencia might be the perfect special cocktail for an evening enjoying the sunshine in the plaza or seaside. This native drink has different styles throughout the city, but said simply, is crafted with a combination of orange juice, vodka, gin, and cava.
After dinner and drinks or maybe as a mid-day pick me up, stop at a horchatería for the typical, sweet beverage made of water, tiger nuts, and sugar. Valencians can be found sipping horchata accompanied by a pastry called farton- Abread pastries are meant to be dipped into the horchata for the perfect pairing.
You will find the perfect pairing to match each course of your flavorful experience through this dynamic city. Whether it’s sweet, savory, fruity, or the spirituous that you seek, Valencia boasts local favorites for each member of your party. Get to know Valencian history, bask in the sunshine seaside, and satisfy your tastebuds in this Spanish city.
¡Buen provecho!
