Guide tips

Itinerary

Meet your guide at Plaza del Colegio del Patriarca

Your tour begins at the university fountain in this historic Renaissance square. After a brief introduction to the picaeta tradition, you will head into the vibrant local streets to start your evening of social dining.

Sip regional vermouth in a neighborhood bar

Start the night with a glass of local vermouth in a cozy neighborhood establishment. You will learn about the botanical history of this traditional aperitif while enjoying initial snacks like salted almonds or local olives.

Explore a historic wine bodega

Next, enter a classic bodega to sample artisanal cheeses and cured meats. Pair these snacks with regional wines from local vineyards while learning about the history of the Valencian countryside.

Savor esgarraet and savory cocas

Visit a lively eatery to try esgarraet, a local salad of roasted peppers and salted cod. You will also taste cocas, which are Mediterranean flatbreads topped with the freshest seasonal produce from the region.

Taste ham and seafood croquettes

Experience the crunch of traditional croquettes filled with rich Iberian ham and fresh seafood. Your guide will explain why these creamy, fried bites are a mandatory staple of every authentic Spanish tapas crawl.

Dine at a family seafood tavern

Your final stop is a welcoming tavern that celebrates the city's coastal roots. You will share fresh seafood tapas prepared from traditional family recipes, providing a delicious finale to your immersion into Valencian flavors.

Your tour finishes at Plaza del Colegio del Patriarca

The evening concludes back at the university square where your journey began. You will walk away with the confidence to navigate local menus and a list of handpicked bars to revisit during the rest of your stay.

What a tour! We were able to taste the history of Valencia and what makes it different from the rest of Spain, and also get insights into places we wouldn’t have wandered into alone. How wonderful!
