CULINARY TOURISM IN CABANYAL

The Cabanyal-Canyamelar is the

fishermen’s seafaring district in the

city of Valencia, by the sea. It’s po-

pular and modernist architecture

with colourful low-rise little houses,

and facades covered in tiles make

it one of the most attractive areas

in the city, and it was declared He-

ritage of Cultural Asset. The houses

were built facing the sea starting

from the fishermen’s huts.

Our tour will start by visiting the

Market, which is 60 years old and

has become one of the most impor-

tant buildings, and is regarded as

both the nerve centre and the mee-

ting point in for the neighbours, as

well as an icon in El Cabanyal. It is

reputed to sell the best fresh fish in

the city, since the district where it

is located is off the Mediterranean

coastline. It is consequently, an obli-

gatory stop to admire its fruits and

vegetables, but especially the fresh

fish stalls.

The streets with the greatest ar-

chitectural wealth are those of La

Reina, Barraca, Escalante, Josep

Benlliure and adjacent. A walk

that we will enjoy making a stop

at the Bar Ca La Mar, a typical

tapas bar (our tour includes ‘tapa’
-snack- and drink). We will enjoy

the architecture and some of the

most emblematic buildings such

as the Musical Theater. One last

stop before lunch at Bar La Paca,

a must to enjoy a relaxed atmos-

phere (includes tapa’ -snack- and

drink).

We will head to Bodega Anyora

in order to enjoy a typical Valen-

cian lunch with first-quality local

products. After the meal, our tour

will finish by coming back to the

starting point.
