Experiencing Valencia Like a Local

Uncover the hidden gems of local life on this unforgettable experience. Begin your day with a sumptuous local breakfast, then marvel at the stunning architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences. Your adventure culminates with a visit to a traditional Bodegas Wine Bar, where you can savor authentic Valencian culture.

Start your day with a welcoming glass of local Cava before embarking on a taxi ride to a renowned cafe for an Esmorzaret, the traditional Valencian breakfast. Savor a Bocadillo, a hearty sandwich with your choice of fillings like Longaniza sausage, bacon, sauteed onions, and more, complemented by a coffee, wine or beer, and finished with a Cremat, a local concoction of coffee, dark rum, spices, and citrus.

Next, we visit the most remarkable secret arts museum in Valencia and see the works of Caravaggio, El Greco and an authentic manuscipt from Sir Thomas More, Lord Chancellor of England during the reign of Henry VIII. After we visit the City of Arts and Sciences: one of the wonders of the world or visit the amazing Ninots Museum to view the children's fallas statues saved from burning during the traditional Valencia fire festival each year. Fallas is an annual festival where huge statues made of wood and polyester are burned in a spectacular display, accompanied by fireworks.

Once we meet back up, a quick cab ride whisks us off to one of Valencia’s top traditional wine bars. Enjoy a copa de cava and two glasses of classic Valencian wine paired with tapas, dishes featuring local cheeses, sausages, Sabrasado spread, and more.
