This question has a rather easy answer! Valencia is one of those cities that are gradually revealed by walking through its streets, stopping at any corner or looking up to discover facades and balconies that tell us about its history. Valencia is about good weather, the sunlight and the sea, but it is also about <strong>culture, tradition and gastronomy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will tell you about our favourite plans in the city that gave birth to figures such as Sorolla, Blasco Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez or Concha Piquer. Because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonneil.com\/blog\/en\/category\/living-la-buena-vida-en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the good life<\/a> is also about getting to know new places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gastronomy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is difficult to write about something as personal as taste. But one thing is certain: among the varied gastronomy of Valencia, anyone can find a dish that will make them go crazy. Not in vain, <strong>fresh produce from this area of the Mediterranean is delicious<\/strong>, especially when it comes to vegetables, greens and seafood. How can you verify this? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonneil.com\/blog\/en\/best-restaurants-in-valencia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In this post we will tell you about some of our favourite restaurants in the city<\/a>. Work up your appetite, because all this is waiting for you in Valencia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Central Market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you like to browse through products? Do you enjoy shopping like a kid in a candy store? In that case, you have to go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercadocentralvalencia.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Valencia&#8217;s Central Market<\/a>, a must for gourmands. It is the largest fresh produce market in Europe, with over <strong>8,000 square metres and about 300 stalls<\/strong>. This modernist building is a paradise for fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, fish and seafood&#8230; so hard to resist! Also, its architecture of iron columns, its tiles and stained glass windows make it extra valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Columbus Market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one of the most beautiful buildings in Valencia, dating from the beginning of the 20th century and representative of modernism (it is a National Monument), we find the Mercado de Col\u00f3n or Colombus Market. It used to be a traditional market, and now it houses <strong>flower stalls and restaurants<\/strong> of the highest quality. 3,500 m\u00b2 located in one of the most prestigious areas of the city, the Ensanche. The ironwork and the ceramic details are remarkable. You can really appreciate it from places like Habitual by Ricard Camarena, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makhincafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ma Khin Caf\u00e9<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manglanoparatomar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manglano<\/a>. And don&#8217;t forget to try the famous Market Beers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dishes and tradition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here comes the good stuff. How is this great variety of fresh produce used? What are the traditional dishes of Valencia? They are apparently simple recipes, but they keep a technique and a know-how typical of the people and the traditions of this area. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Rice.<\/strong> The cultivation of rice in Valencia was inherited from the Arabs back in the 8th century, and today three varieties are grown: Bomba, Senia and Bah\u00eda. Paella is of course the star of Valencia&#8217;s cuisine (rice, chicken, rabbit, flat green beans, lima beans, tomato, more rice, olive oil, water, saffron, garlic and salt), but there are more than 40 varieties such as baked rice, <em>arroz a banda<\/em> (with fish), black rice (with squid in ink), <em>arr\u00f2s amb fesols i nap <\/em>(soupy rice with beans)&#8230; If you can&#8217;t find your favourite type, you must be a bit of a freak!<\/li><li><strong>The sea and the countryside.<\/strong> Thanks to its vegetable gardens and fishing, Valencia makes the most of produce, such as sardines, red mullets, hake, mackerel, prawns&#8230; as well as delicious tomatoes, onions&#8230; and the outstanding Valencian oranges. Don&#8217;t miss the <em>esgarraet<\/em> (roasted pepper and aubergine with dried cod and olive oil).<\/li><li><strong>Sweets.<\/strong> If there is anything almost as typical of Valencia as the paella, it is the <em>horchata<\/em> or tiger nut milk with <em>fartons<\/em>, the best treat for a summer afternoon! And let&#8217;s not forget about the <em>arnad\u00ed<\/em> (pumpkin and almond cake), <em>almoj\u00e1banas<\/em>, <em>orelletes<\/em>, <em>rosegones<\/em>, sweet potato cakes&#8230; Okay, we are stopping now!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All this has given Valencia five Michelin stars and 28 Repsol suns, obtained by some of the best chefs in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good, we just treated ourselves to all kinds of dishes. Now, it is time to cultivate the mind. The city of Valencia has <strong>more than 2,000 years of history<\/strong> and has been the base of Roman, Visigoth, Muslim and medieval culture. This has become a passion for culture, art and knowledge that is reflected in museums and other settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UNESCO Heritage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For its &#8220;outstanding universal value&#8221;, UNESCO has recognized the <em>Lonja de la Seda<\/em> or Silk Exchange, the Water Tribunal and the Falles as a common heritage of mankind. To find out why, you will have to visit them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The Silk Exchange.<\/strong> Valencia is part of the Silk Road, which includes 32 other cities in Europe and Asia. This Gothic building, whose first stone was laid in 1492, is a very representative example. Full of symbols, it stands out for works such as the gargoyles in the Patio de los Naranjos and the Sal\u00f3n Columnario or Sala de Contrataci\u00f3n with its huge palm trees.<\/li><li><strong>The Water Tribunal.<\/strong> We encourage you to attend the meetings of the <em>Tribunal de las Aguas<\/em> or Water Tribunal, every Thursday at 12:00 at the Apostles&#8217; Gate of the Valencia Cathedral. This institution has Roman origins and is dedicated to resolving conflicts about water use among farmers, and they do so out loud and with the public as a witness.<\/li><li><strong>The Fallas.<\/strong> Who hasn&#8217;t heard of the Fallas in Valencia and the famous <em>ninots<\/em>? It is the city&#8217;s celebration par excellence, in which creativity plays a key role. They are held from the 15th to the 19th of March, and the firework displays of the <em>Nit del Foc<\/em> and the <em>Crem\u00e1<\/em>, in which the Fallas monuments are burned, are the two highlights.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Science Museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia was a turning point in the Spanish architectural and cultural scene. It is home to the Pr\u00edncipe Felipe Science Museum, one of the most interactive in the city. Their motto makes it clear: <strong>&#8220;It is forbidden not to touch, not to feel, not to think&#8221;<\/strong>. Its exhibitions are dedicated to the evolution of life and the popularisation of science and technology, spread over almost 30,000 square metres. It is perfect for visiting with the family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museobellasartesvalencia.gva.es\/es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">second largest art gallery in Spain<\/a>, and we love the rooms dedicated to <strong>Joaqu\u00edn Sorolla<\/strong>, the renown Valencian painter. There are even unknown works by Vel\u00e1zquez! And by Murillo, El Greco, Goya, Pinazo&#8230; as well as sculptures, archaeological pieces, and the list goes on! Its 17th century building is a museum in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Needless to say, the natural surroundings is one of the most valuable assets of the city of Valencia. The good weather makes it possible to enjoy the outdoors throughout the year, constantly feeling the Mediterranean air on your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Albufera Natural Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arguably <a href=\"http:\/\/albufera.valencia.es\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Valencia&#8217;s most famous natural setting<\/a>, just 10 kilometres from the city. Ideal for <strong>getting away from the hustle and bustle<\/strong> while enjoying the sunset on a boat, surrounded by rice plantations, in the forest, on the beach, in the dunes&#8230; There is a reason why this ecosystem is chosen by many birds that breed there, as well as fish and insects, surrounded by centenary trees&#8230; Also, this is where the paella was invented. That alone makes it worthwhile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turia Gardens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have a soft spot for the <a href=\"https:\/\/parcdelturia.es\/actividades\/jardines-del-turia-en-valencia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Turia Gardens<\/a>, one of the largest urban natural parks in Spain! The lung of Valencia is a place to get away, to be surrounded by greenery without the need to travel far. It crosses the city with more than <strong>9 kilometres of walkable paths<\/strong> and recreational and sports areas for the whole family, featuring orange trees, palm trees, fountains, ponds&#8230; A fact: the old Turia riverbed used to run through here, but was diverted after the great flood of 1957. And the 18 bridges that cross it speak of the history of the city. Walking through the historical centre, the Turia Gardens go through some of the most important museums and monuments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marina and beaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, we are not forgetting about the sea! One of Valencia&#8217;s greatest assets is its coastline, represented by its promenade, the beaches of Cabanyal and Malvarrosa, and La Marina, a sports marina that is so much more than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The Valencia Marina.<\/strong> One million m2 dedicated to sailing, innovation, culture, gastronomy\u2026 an ideal meeting place overlooking the sea. Visit exhibitions, dance or music shows, or enjoy sailing, diving, canoeing&#8230; And why not attend a party on a sailing boat over the Mediterranean?<\/li><li><strong>Beaches.<\/strong> Can you imagine having an afterwork drink on the beach? Well, that&#8217;s how it is done in Valencia. The beaches of Cabanyal, Malvarrosa and Patacona are just a short walk from the centre and stretch for 3.5 kilometres. You can get there on foot, by bus, by metro, by bike&#8230; and regain your energy walking along the promenade.<\/li><li><strong>Cabanyal district.<\/strong> This was an independent municipality in the 19th century. The Cabanyal is a seaside district full of history, which is a reflection of Valencia&#8217;s fishing tradition. You will find cabins, fishermen&#8217;s houses with tiled facades, modernist buildings&#8230; Here you can live the authentic way. In recent times the area has been revived with a bohemian air thanks to art and theatre companies, restaurants, food trucks, shops\u2026<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, finally, the city. It is at the centre of life for the people in Valencia, representing the origin of their history and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historical centre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romans, Visigoths and Muslims were able to appreciate the advantages of this area. Valencia has one of the <strong>largest historical centres in Europe<\/strong>, where we recommend that you wander around without direction, until you reach the Cathedral, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Forsaken, the Central Market, the Silk Exchange&#8230; And don&#8217;t miss the Carmen district with its cobbled streets, its art centres, the Mossen Sorell market&#8230; or the Quart and Serranos Towers as medieval testimonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ruzafa and Ensanche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ensanche is one of the most chic districts in Spain, which will attract the attention of anyone who loves good shops, restaurants and businesses. Ruzafa is a bohemian paradise, a kind of <strong>Soho in Valencia<\/strong> that always has something to offer: cafes, flower shops, vintage clothing stores, bookstores, theatres&#8230; If you are looking for unique objects, don&#8217;t miss <a href=\"https:\/\/gnomo.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gnomo<\/a>. And to get your strength back, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canallabistro.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canalla Bistr\u00f3<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for reading this far and getting a feel for what Valencia has to offer.
