About this tour
This session moves through Valencia's food streets, from the Mercado Central to the snack counters of Ruzafa. You see where locals actually shop and eat, from market stalls to a plate of esgarraet. It is a fast, practical look at the city through its food.
A short sound check opens the call, then the guide walks stall to stall, pointing out what each is known for. Questions come in live, and a shortlist of places to try follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone planning a trip to Valencia who wants a food plan before arriving. It also suits viewers who already know the city and want to compare notes.
