    You will start your culinary adventure in Plaça del Comte de Bunyol, a hidden gem surrounded by beautiful architecture that invites both visitors and locals to dive in the atmosphere of the city. Here you will meet your local expert to head to the first stop! Have a taste of esgarraet (from the Valencian esgarradet). It's another typical dish of the Valencian Community. It consists of a special salad made with roasted red bell pepper, salted cod, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. Otherwise, try a delicious pintxo of sardines. The perfect appetizer to start with.

    Situated between the Barrio del Carmen and Plaza de la Virge

    Situated between the Barrio del Carmen and Plaza de la Virgen, Plaça del Tossal is another must-visit while in Valencia. Here you can see the Arabic influences that shaped Spanish history, such as the ruins of a Muslim tower or the city remparts from XII century. In a tapas bar nearby, you will have the chance to try a selection of local tapas, like Clóchinas, the small, thin Valencian sisters of mussels. This is the most beloved shellfish in the Valencian Community. Otherwise, indulge in a slice of potato tortilla or patatas bravas, Spain’s ultimate comfort food.

    Valencia’s Central Market is a paradise you can’t miss. It is a must-visit in this city, a gigantic pantry of modernist architecture.

    Plaza Redonda - literally "Round Square" - is probably one of the smallest, yet most charming squares in Valencia. The square was built in XIX century by Salvador Escrig Melchor and conceived as a circular pen. Nowadays, it's also known as "el clot" (the hole), and here locals go shopping in the several shops or at the small market that takes place every Sunday morning. And it's right near this symbol of the city that you will find your next stop, where you will get the chance to try different types of local pintxos, of course served with a glass of refreshing beer!
