Tapas Tour- Valencian cuisine and history

Tour gastronómico con pinceladas de historia en Valencia

A tapas tour combined with history of Valencia

La cocina mediterránea está llena de delicias. Sin duda, el máximo exponente de esta tradición es el arroz y nuestro plato más mundialmente conocido: la paella. Pero también los dulces, los guisos de pescado y, por supuesto, las tapas valencianas :como patatas bravas, titaina, clotxines, cocas, esgarraets,  o aspencat son platos muy sencillos y autóctonos que no son tan conocidos fuera de la zona, pero que forman parte de lo que ya es un ritual social de los valencianos: el aperitivo. 

Este recorrido será una experiencia única por varias razones: la elección de las tapas que degustarás, los restaurantes legendarios que visitarás, los consejos de cocina que compartiré y la rica historia de la ciudad que combinaré con las historias gastronómicas.

Mediterranean cuisine is full of delicacies. Undoubtedly, the greatest exponent of this tradition is rice and our most world-famous dish: paella. But also sweets, fish stews and, of course, Valencian tapas such as patatas bravas, titaina, clotxines, cocas, esgarraets, or aspencat are very simple and native dishes that are not so well known outside the area, but that are part of what is already a social ritual of the Valencians: the aperitif.

This tour will be a unique experience for several reasons: the choice of tapas you will taste, the legendary restaurants you will visit, the cooking tips I will share and the rich history of the city that I will combine with the gastronomic stories.
