Valencia's Culinary History with Traditional Food Tastings

Explore the vibrant flavors of Valencia on this exciting food tour that takes you to some of the city’s best culinary hotspots. Discover the rich gastronomic history of Valencia with an expert English-speaking guide as you stroll through the historic Casco Antiguo.

Your journey begins with fried anchovies, a coastal delicacy that's crispy and light, perfect for a first bite in this seaside city. Next, you'll savor classic croquetas, featuring creamy bechamel and cured ham in a crispy shell, the ultimate comfort food. One of the tour’s highlights is a visit to Valencia’s famous Central Market, a must-see for any foodie. This sprawling market, housed in a beautiful modernist building, is a treasure trove of fresh local produce, tantalizing Mediterranean flavors, and more.

At a historic bar known for its seafood, you'll try clochinas, Valencia’s beloved local mussels, cherished for their small, delicate taste. The adventure continues with a traditional esgarraet, a flavorful salad made with roasted red peppers, salted cod, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil—truly a taste of the region. No Valencia experience would be complete without a refreshing sip of Agua de Valencia, a zesty, citrus-infused cocktail unique to the city.

Finally, you'll wrap up your tour with a sweet stop at one of the oldest horchaterias in town to enjoy horchata, a refreshing tiger nut drink, paired with soft, spongy fartons, perfect for dipping.
