- Central Market of Valencia - A quick visit and a lovely tasting
Mercat Central (Central Market) is a public market located across from the Llotja de la Seda and the church of the Juanes in central Valencia. It is one of the main works of the Valencian Art Nouveau. The Central Market of Valencia is one of the largest in Europe; it covers more than 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq ft), with a predominantly Valencian Art Nouveau style. Its unusual roof comprises original domes and sloping sections at different heights, while the interior seems to be lined in a range of materials such as iron, wood, ceramics and polychromed tiles. The beauty of the building stands out especially on account of the light that enters through the roof at various points, and through coloured window panels.

City mornings are mesmerizing as they reveal the most genuine aspects of how locals live in their city. Taking part in a local brunch known as ‘almuerzo’ is a communal practice enjoyed by nearly all inhabitants of Valencia. ‘Almorzar’ is a culinary tradition that encapsulates the essence of Valencia and its people: an undiluted community, fiercely proud of its gastronomic idiosyncrasies! Our local specialists further unpack this unique cultural custom during this tour.
If you’ve just landed in the city, this is an ideal primer to Spanish cuisine, the fundamentals of Valencia, and the local lifestyle. More than a simple tour, we will experience a cultural, gastronomic and walking tour all in one. By the conclusion of this journey, you’ll understand fully why the ‘Esmorzaret Valenciano’ morning culture cannot exist beyond Valencia (which means you’ll have to return!)
