Overview

Mediterranean cuisine is full of delicacies. Undoubtedly, the maximum exponent of this tradition is rice and our most worldwide known dish: paella. But also sweets, stews with fish and, of course, Valencian tapas (patatas bravas, titaina, clotxines, cocas, esgarraets, aspencat,...) are very simple and autochthonous dishes that are not so well known outside the area, but that are part of what is already a social ritual of the Valencians: the aperitif (drink)/appetizer (food). This tour will be a unique experience for several reasons: the choice of tapas you will taste, the legendary restaurants you will visit, the cooking tips I will share and the rich history of the city I will blend with the food stories.

Meeting points

Go to the main entrance and find the big clock outside the Railway Station. Find me there, I´ll be carrying a lilac umbrella.

Segundo restuarante del tour

Itinerary

  • Estacio del Nord

    This is our meeting point and first landmark we will visit. It´s one of the most beautiful train stations in Spain built in modernist architecture.

    10 minutes

  • Iglesia de San Agustin

    We´ll head to the first restaurant (close by the station) where I´ll tell you about the origin and meaning of tapas. I´ll share recipes and cooking tips. There´s a big surprise awaiting you regarding a rooted local sport. We´ll taste 2 "tapas" (snacks) and a local drink, that can be a soft drink, beer or glass of wine

    45 minutes

  • Plaza del Ayuntamiento

    On our way to the second restaurant, we´ll stop at the spectacular Town Hall Square, where I´ll talk about some aspects of the rich history of Valencia (19th-20th century period).

    10 minutes

  • La Lonja de la Seda

    Our next stop will be at the iconic Silk Exchange Market, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. I´ll talk about the splendour of the city during the 14th-17th centuries and its importance in Europe.

    10 minutes

  • Mercat Central de Valencia

    The Central Market is a gem, one of the best examples of Modernism in Valencia, and a wonder for the senses. I´ll share some recommendations for tasting "paella valenciana" and other local delicacies.

    5 minutes

  • Iglesia de los Santos Juanes

    Santos Juanes Church is the second most important Baroque church after Saint Nicholas Church, known as the Valencian Sixtine Chapel. Both are linked and I will tell visitors about it

    5 minutes

  • Torres de Quart

    We´ll taste 1 or 2 more tapas (depending on the number of participants) and one drink (soft drink, beer or wine) in one of the most legendary bars located in the heart of the Arab quarter, Barrio del Carmen.

    45 minutes

A great tapas and history tour.

Published on Oct, 2024

We had such a great time on the tour with Lucia. We were a group of 4 and were lucky to have Lucia to ourselves for the evening. The tour was a great mixture of delicious tapas and learning some of the history of the lovely city of Valencia. We covered a wide range of subjects chatting to Lucia which gave us a real insight into Spanish and Valencian life. Lucia also gave us some tips on further places to visit during our stay. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour and delicious tapas!

Published on Oct, 2024

The tour was amazing, and the tapas were delicious! Lucia is very friendly, gave us a great overview of some of the history of Valencia and answered all our questions. Highly recommended!

Fantastic evening in awesome Valencia

Published on Sep, 2024

Lucia was a great host who shared personal stories, local culture and an entertaining conversation in a professional and approachable manner. We loved both restaurants we went to, places with a local atmosphere where we did not meet any other foreigners. We loved the wine and tapas we tasted. Muchas gracias Lucia

An incredible time in an amazing city

Published on Apr, 2024

Lucía was a really engaging guide who took us to really off the beaten path places, especially Trinquet Pelayo. We tasted delicious Valencian tapas I´ve never heard of like "titaina", drank local wine and learnt some of the history. The perfect combination!!! I truly recommend this tour

Tasting Valencia!

Published on Apr, 2024
