The waters off Valencia are considered some of Europe's best sailing grounds. And you'll have every right to feel like a real pro sailing these seas - they played host to the 2005 America's Cup.
If you want a taste of all Valencia has to offer - the fresh seafood, mountain herbs, field-grown grains - you've got to try the local paella.

Satisfy your thirst with a taste of horchata, a popular tiger nut drink found at any of the local bars surrounding the cathedrals. Rice dishes are a sought after main course at the Malvarrosa Beach restaurants, particularly La Rosa.
