Valencia Morning Food Tour with Central Market by Food Lover Tour
Description
Mornings in the city are fascinating because they always show you the most authentic aspect of how its inhabitants live in their hometown. Having a local brunch called almuerzo is a social activity shared by almost all people in Valencia. “Almorzar” is a gastronomic tradition that defines what Valencia is like and what its people are like: an irreducible village, proud of its culinary localisms! This unique cultural custom is explained more in detail by our local experts during this tour. If you have just arrived in town this is a perfect introduction to the Spanish gastronomy, the essentials of Valencia and the local culture. More than a tour, we will live a cultural, walking and gastronomic tour in the same experience. By the end of the adventure, you’ll know exactly why “Esmorzaret Valenciano” culture in the morning can’t exist outside of Valencia (so you’ll have to come back!).

Itinerary
A quick visit and a lovely tasting Mercat Central (Central Market) is a public market located across from the Llotja de la Seda and the church of the Juanes in central Valencia. It is one of the main works of the Valencian Art Nouveau. The Central Market of Valencia is one of the largest in Europe; it covers more than 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq ft), with a predominantly Valencian Art Nouveau style. Its unusual roof comprises original domes and sloping sections at different heights, while the interior seems to be lined in a range of materials such as iron, wood, ceramics and polychromed tiles. The beauty of the building stands out especially on account of the light that enters through the roof at various points, and through coloured window panels.
We will pass through a very old bakery. The Silk Exchange is a late Valencian Gothic-style civil building. It was built between 1482 and 1533.
Plaza de la Reina. The perfect spot to try some ecologic horchata !
City Hall square. We will have a local apéritif with drink pairing like locals do.
Round square. Let's enjoy a special mi-morning breakfast with a surprising local coffee.

Victor was a great host. Great food and overall experience. Thank you
This wonderful tour really highlighted the incredible food culture and lovely old town of Valencia. The tour was well-paced, our guide Victor had a great vibe and was super knowledgeable and we simply could not have enjoyed it more. 11 out of 10!
We had a great tour with Andrea. The food was delicious and there was so much of it! There is a great way to get an initial introduction to the city, the culture, and of course the food. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience - tried a variety of food, and got to see parts of Valencia we had not seen. Andrea was a consummate host and gave us some excellent tips for the rest of our stay. Would highly recommend to all wishing to experience the real Valencia!
Charming food and drink tour around valencia, covering breakfast and lunch. Our host, Fatine, was very knowledgeable and guided us through nicely.

Come hungry, pleasant array of tasting to present the foods of Valencia. Good mix of sweet and savory. Today we had pleasant company and nice conversations.
We had a very enjoyable experience overall. The tour included several stops, giving us the opportunity to try a variety of local foods. Our guide, was friendly, attentive.
What a perfect way to acclimate to Old Town Valencia and get off the tourist trap food experiences. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to drench themselves in all the good food that Valencia has to offer (beyond tapas and paella!).
A lot of fun, delicious food and new experiences!
