1 Carrer del Bon OrdenWhen Valencianos say that they are "going to the beach," they usually mean Playa de Malvarossa, an urban strand blessed by fine sand, gentle waves, surprisingly clean waters—and the mother of all paella restaurants, La Pepica. While three-quarters of the menu of this venerable eatery (founded 1898) consists of fish and shellfish, the other quarter is a golden litany of nearly two dozen classic Valencian rice dishes.

This is a spectacular restaurant. You eat right on the mediterranean--directly across from the sea. The restaurant is gorgeous and spotless. Eating indoors surrounded by beautiful tiles, or out--under awnings and umbrellas, shaded from the sun, you will enjoy the best paella in Valencia. Every course is wonderful, from mussels (called clochinas in Valencia) to the succulent paella itself. Even the melon, for dessert, is outstanding. With wonderful service and excellent prices, Casa Navarro is located away from the tourist strip at the beach, in an area called Alboraya. Worth a cab ride (or a drive if you have a car). Easy to get back to town by calling for a cab--the restaurant will help you do this.

This homely and very informal bar has a well-earned reputation for being one of the best neighborhood tapas bars, where Valencian tapas are the speciality, serving everything from squid to anchovies.

Chinese food can be both delicious and healthy. Frenazo is proof of this. With a wide variety of very inexpensive choices, you are bound to fine something you will love. One of my favorite dishes is the duck in curry sauce. Another is the tofu, potatoes with onions and peppers in a curry sauce. Their noodles are great, and their seafood is always fresh. Unlike American Chinese restaurants, the dishes here are neither greasy nor overly cooked with soy. The food is lovingly prepared with just the right seasoning. The staff is very helpful. If you don't speak Spanish, you can point at the pictures and they will get it right. One of the great bargains in Valencia.

Everyone who walks into L’umbracle for the first time is overwhelmed by the beauty of the nightclub. The club is part of the “Ciudad de las Artes y las ciencias” ,the City of Arts and Sciences. L’Umbracle is not only an impressive place to visit because of its beautiful building, palm trees, flowers and large variety of other plants, during the summer months you can enjoy great parties there. L’Umbracle looks very glamorous with subtle colored lights, a purple carpet and a very stylish bar.

Considered to be one of the most beautiful market halls in Europe, Mercat Central de Valencia is one of the city’s must-see attractions. Historically a hub of commerce and social activity, the Central Market remains a great place to experience the local color of Valencia. And, unlike the Boqueria Market in Barcelona, Valencia’s Central Market is much less touristy.
The present day modernist Central Market, which opened in 1928, is located on the site of a previous traveling market and the subsequent Mercado Nuevo established in 1839. Construction of the current building began in 1910 according to designs by architects Alejandro Soler March and Francisco Guardia Vial. An ornate and immense domed structure constructed of iron, ceramic tiles, glass, marble and stone, the market houses a virtual city; there are close to 400 vendors selling everything from fresh fruits and juices, to breads, nuts and candy, vegetables, meats, and an overwhelming supply of fish and seafood – so abundant that the ‘fish market’ has its own designated area.
Mercat Central can be found in the aptly named El Mercat neighborhood, an area of the city worthy of mention not only for the market hall, but for a few neighboring buildings as well. Next door to the market is Església de Sant Joan del Mercat, the 13th century Church of San Juan of the Market built above the ruins of a previous Mosque. And, across Plaça del Mercat, there’s the palatial 15th century Llotja de la Seda, the former Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s easily recognizable by its crenelated tower and rooftop.

Del Pilar is a famous Falla every year and an absolute must-see during Las Fallas. This year the falla artists chose to target pretence and social masks. The falla is about vanity, wolves in sheep's skins, superficial status symbols, naive gain chasing and lives wasted in carnivals. There is a lot of political satire amongst these issues too

The Plaza de la Virgen might not be the city’s biggest plaza, nor its most central, but this is without a doubt the most historic plaza in Valencia. Despite the fact that the Plaza de la Reina is “Kilometer Zero,” it’s the Plaza de la Virgen which most consider to be the heart of the Valencian Community.
Completely pedestrian, the Plaza de la Virgen is a large square between the Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados and the Palacio de la Generalidad (the seat of the Valencian Government). This is the stage for the Ofrenda of Fallas, and many of the city’s most traditional dances and events. After dark, the flat, glassy surface of the plaza attracts skaters and trick-bikers.
We love coming here for an evening drink. No, the bars at Plaza de la Virgen are not the best, yes, self-respecting Valencian hipsters keep their distance, but for people-watching with a view of the city’s the most magnificent ancient architecture, the Plaza de la Virgen is hard to beat.
