Valencia, Spain’s third largest city and the birthplace of the world-renowned dish paella, offers one of the country’s most exciting food scenes to explore. This sunny coastal city has everything: the freshest seafood from the Mediterranean Sea, a cornucopia of fresh fruits and vegetables, delicious local sweets and drinks… There’s so much to discover!

Locals in Valencia meet up for a “picaeta”, a word that comes from the verb “picar”, which means to eat small bites of different dishes that everyone shares. And that’s exactly what you will be doing: we will visit some of the city’s best hidden gastronomic gems for a full dinner, where we will share authentic, traditional tapas and drinks in the best company.

This dynamic and fun tapas crawl has four stops, all of them unique and charming in their own way. Away from touristy areas, each stop will showcase the best and tastiest tapas and dishes, like delicious “esgarraet” or “cocas”, ham or seafood croquettes paired with Valencia’s wide array of awarded wines and local drinks like “mistela”, all while you learn about the city’s culture and laid-back way of life from our experienced, passionate guide, who will help you experience all of this through the eyes of a local.

This tour is a delightful way to sample the best of Valencia’s cuisine while feeling like you are on an evening out with friends. This is an immersive experience that guarantees the best food and drinks in unique bars and restaurants that neighborhood locals frequent.
