Traditional food

Paella



Valencia is synonymous with Paella, the famous rice and seafood (or sausage or chicken) dish simmered with vegetables in a saffron broth. Rice dishes include many varieties other than paella, though, including Arroz con Alcacofa (which uses artichokes and ham). Shellfish are popular, as is Lubina con Costra (baked bass).

local info

Then Valencia is of course the city where "El Cid", Spain's national hero, fought against the Moors, and popular festivals in the city and many villages around still remind of this epoch.

What to see

Costa Blanca



If you want to discover more than just sun and sand, you will find remains of most remote civilizations, Phoenicians, Greeks, Iberians and Romans. The Moorish legacy is still present in traditional artisany and agriculture with its praised oranges as well as rice. The conquests of Jaime de Aragon led to the foundation of the kingdom of Valencia, more or less at the territiory of todays Community.
