One of the benefits of living in a city by the sea is that the food in Valencia restaurants is very fresh. The surrounding areas of Valencia are known as la Huerta Valencia (the garden of Valencia). The vegetables, fruits and nuts come straight from la Huerta to Mercado Central, the shops and restaurants of the city.
