Descripción ampliada Paella may be the dish that Valencia is most famed for, but if you’re only eating rice when you’re in town, you’re seriously missing out. That’s why we’re taking you deeper into the city’s culinary traditions on this flavor-packed food tour.

Highlights
-Find out why Valencia’s cuisine is way more than just paella
-Discover the tasty local gastronomy at two lively markets and an artisan shop
-Taste authentic Valencian treats like horchata and fartón pastry, artisan chocolates, and local wines
- Enjoy gourmet tastings of jamón, chorizo and local cheeses, Valencian olive oils & tapenades, finished with tapas and wine at our favourite taberna
-Hear about the area’s rich history and play a part in supporting small local businesses

Your gastronomic adventure will kick off in the Exiample district, at Mercado de Colón, a gem largely frequented by locals, and a market unlike the others in town. Once you finish gawking at its magnificent avant-garde structure, we’ll have our first sampling of an organic horchata — the most traditional summer drink of Valencia. Horchata’s main ingredient is tigernut. (“Tiger-whaaa???” you say? Sorry, no spoilers. You’ll just have to join us to find out!)

Our next stop will be a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it artisan chocolate shop where you’ll taste two mouth-watering chocolates. Handmade truffles, bombones, and cubanitos are all on the menu —which one will you choose?! After we drag you chocolate lovers outta there, our next stop is the famous Mercado Central, which promises a delightful sensory overload! We’ll guide you through the buzzing and chaotic stalls and start by telling you about the key spices needed to make an authentic paella - Spanish saffron and smoked paprika. Next is a gourmet jamón, chorizo and local cheeses tasting, paired with a nice, local red wine. Let us help you crack that mysterious difference between jamón ibérico and serrano. An introduction to a small Valencian olive oil producer is up.
