 Best Valencia Food in Mercado Central
Situated in the Old Quarter of Valencia Town Center is one of the oldest and largest food markets in Spain.
Traditional Spanish food includes lots of Valencia rice (bomba rice grown in the paddy fields of the nearby Albufera), fresh seafood and meat, the freshest of vegetables and salads, the very famous Valencia oranges are all part of this region of Spain.
Valencia is the birth-place of paella and only 12kms from the centre of town is the beautiful nature reserve and freshwater lagoon of l'Albufera which is separated from the sea by a thin strip of land.
The area is full of pine forests and sand dunes and this is where the glorious rice is grown and where you can taste authentic Valencian food.
The best paella and tapas are always made with the freshest and tastiest ingredients which in Valencia are available from Mercado Central in the historic center.
Parsley, garlic, saffron, cheese, olives, olive oil, serrano ham, fish and seafoods straight from the sea are integral to Mediterranean food and traditional Spanish food.
A typical breakfast or snack for Spanish and most Mediterranean people is to cut crunchy bread in half, drizzle with olive oil and then rub with garlic and a juicy ripe tomato.
Sprinkle with salt and enjoy! Very Spanish, very easy, very healthy and incredibly delicious!
You can also enjoy tapas in any one of the many tapas bars in Valencia. If you feel like making them yourself check out our page on recipes of Spain and Valencia.
