Spanish Food Tour at Central Market in Valencia, Spain
Join us for a Spanish Food Tour in Valencia, Spain at central market (mercado central) as we sample many tasty savory and sweet bites. Located just a stone throw away from our apartment we visited the mercat central on an almost daily basis to pick-up groceries such as fresh produce and delicious local meats and cheeses. However, our mission was different this time. Our plan was to visit the Central Market in Valencia to have as many tasty Spanish snacks as we possibly could handle including both savory and sweet items. With this in mind we ate the following food items:
1) Sandwich with serrano ham (Bocadillo de jamón serrano)
2) Ham and cheese in a cup (Jamón serrano y queso)
3) Empanadas with tuna and onion (Empanadilla de atún y cebolla)
4) Spanish Tortilla with chorizo slices (Tortilla española con chorizo)
5) Almond and sugar cakes (Mantecadas y polvorones)
6) Pig's ear or Elephant ear pastries (Palmeras)
7) Fruit juice (Zumo de frutas)

Spanish Food Tour at Central Market in Valencia, Spain Video Transcript:
Today's video is going to be a food adventure. We're making our way over to the Central Market here in Valencia (Mercado Central de Valencia). Which is right outside our door. We had views from our apartment window overlooking the market just footsteps away. We've already been a few times to do our grocery shopping but we also noticed they have lots of tasty bites so you can actually turn your visit into a meal. So that is what we're planning to do. I've even got my little grocery bag in case we see something for dinner. That is the plan. Let's go eat Spanish food.
Our first snack of the day is going to be a sandwich filled with jamón serrano (Bocadillo de jamón serrano). That means ham from the mountains from the sierras. I'm just opening it up here. Look at that. A thing of beauty in the sandwich. They asked me if I wanted olive oil drizzled all over it so I was like yeah! It was only 1 Euro.
Time for our second snack here at the market. Alright second tasty snack. And this one is only 2 Euros so we're having Serrano ham. There we go Jamón serrano y queso right? And this one is only 2 Euros.
This is our third snack right here. It is called empanadilla and it is filled with tuna and onion (Empanadilla de atún y cebolla ). It kind of resembles the empanadas that you find in Latin America. How much was it? 1.10 Euros.
We're going to be trying the tortilla and we ordered the one with chorizo and it is served with a slice of bread and they also gave us some allioli sauce.
So this should be pretty good & scrumptious. Our forth snack. We're still going strong guys. Not close to being full yet.
Time to try that. You already had a bite of the chorizo for our Spanish version so I'm insisting that you save that piece for me. I know it is good. It is wonderful with this garlic sauce.
We are trying something completely new. Apparently it is a dessert that is from Spain. We got three different kinds and I've just opened the first one up. This one is called polvorones de canela. It is cinnamon.
This one is called Mantecada. This is polvorone.
These were three Euros for the 3 of them.
Moving on to dessert. This is called Palmera. It is 1 Euro.
Gotta wash it down with a little fruit juice. This was 1.50 Euros.
That was a very fun visit to the Central Market (Mercado Central).
If you want to visit the Central Market (Mercat Central) here in Valencia a few things you should know. It is open from 8 to 3 pm everyday except for Sunday. So Monday through Saturday and there is a lot of produce and meat shops great for picking up groceries.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine.

Overall, it was a fantastic meal. Paella is a must try dish if you're visiting Valencia, Spain and we'd highly recommend this restaurant to try it.

Spanish Food Review - Eating Paella Valenciana in Valencia, Spain Travel Video Transcript:
It is lunchtime here in Valencia, Spain and of course we had to order Paella. This is considered the National Dish of Spain by foreigners but Spaniards will tell you this is more of a regional specialty. We've ordered two paellas. The first one is the Valencian one and then we've also ordered that is called Fideuà which is a noodle Paella which comes from Alicante. That is going to be coming in 20 minutes. In the meantime we've ordered some tapas. We have the Jamón serrano, we also have patatas bravas and we have some loaves of bread fresh out of the oven. This is going to be tasty.
La Paella Valenciana. Oh! Wow! Paella es la grande.
The food is here and we are going to start off with the Valencian Paella (Valenciana). Let's talk about the ingredients. This one comes with chicken. Rabbit meat. And it also has snails and it has green beans and it has cardo beans and what is this rosemary right here? This looks so good. I'm going to scoop some up. And the rice is cooked in saffron. That gives it its yellow color. And we should also talk about the size of the pan. The waiter was just explaining like this looks massive. It is only for 2 people but what they do is if they have more people eating out of it like 3 or 4 they just keep adding more rice and it will be thicker.
Let's try this. The meat is crispy and golden. So is the rice. I love it when you get the golden rice like that. That is the best part for sure.
What I find so neat about Paella is that there is so many different kinds you can have from vegetables to seafood to this traditional Valencian one. You can have mixed ones as well. Yeah, there was one with chicken. There was one on the menu that had black squid ink. We were eying that as well.
Next up this is the alternative to Paella. This is Alicante's version. Yeah. And it is made with noodles. That is right. Fideuà. But before I even talk about this I have to first talk about the Paella now. For the four of us to finish that I give us an A+ because that wasn't easy. That was a lot of food. And now we're moving on to round 2. Yes. We have another big big pot full of food to eat. Yeah look at those. I'm just going to use the spoon here. So this one has um prawns. It has cuttlefish, it has a different kind of noodle. Mussels. Oh mussels too. Red peppers. It has got a bit of everything. It smells really good. It has like a very strong fish seafood smell.
Time to tell us the price. We ate so much there is going to be no dinner tonight. That was just a wonderful meal. Just a great place. Really nice service. Great quality. So the meal in total came to 82 Euros. Just over 20 Euros per person. That included 2 really nice appetizers, complimentary bread. A liter of water to share and of course those two main dishes. So that was just outstanding value. We are all so full. We are going to be in full on siesta mode. If you're visiting here in Valencia, Spain definitely have to try the Paella and Fideuà. And also you should consider coming to this restaurant (Ocho y Medio) too.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine as well as Valencian food, Valencian culture and Valencian cuisine.

WELCOME to VALENCIA ESPAÑA ???????? TOP THINGS to SEE and EAT -Vlog
Valencia is filled with culture, food, and amazing architecture old and new. The city lies along the Mediterranean coast and is one of the largest ports in Europe. Today we are going to visit the old city, enjoy the tapas, and visit the aquarium at the Oceanographic Park which was built by local famed architect Calatrava. Let's go!
Valencia was founded in 138 B.C by the Romans. The Old Town has a Medieval layout with architectural treasures including the Mercado Central (Central Market) and the Gothic Cathedral.
Valencia is famous for food, especially Paella. It is known as the birthplace of Paella, Spain's iconic rice dish. At the market, I try the jamón (ham) and orange juice, which is a staple of the Iberian diet. Next, I visit a tapas bar where I try the Spanish wine and more jamón.
Next stop is the port area. The L'Oceanogràfic or Oceanographic Park, which has an aquarium filled with sharks, jellyfish, dolphins, belugas, walruses, sea lions, seals, fish and an underground aquarium tunnel. Oceanogràfic of Valencia is the largest aquarium in Europe.
It is part of the City of Arts and Sciences park complex, designed by local architect Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela. Calatrava is Valencian and known for his futurist designs which draw inspiration from living organisms, some buildings here resemble a vertebrae and an eye (Hemisfèric cinema). A visit to this park is a must and several of its buildings have become icons in the city.

10 Things to do in Valencia, Spain Travel Guide Video Transcript: (València)
Continuing our travels through Spain, our next stop was Valencia.
Located along the coast, Spain’s third-largest city is renowned for its mild climate, futuristic constructions and paella.
We’ll spent most of our time in Valencia was mostly spent eating, but when we weren’t restaurant hopping or snacking our way through markets, we were exploring the city on foot and the destination quickly rose to the top.
In this Valencia travel guide we’re going to take you guys on a tour of the city and show you some of the things you can do on your visit.
After lunch we were ready to go sightseeing around Valencia. Our first stop: the Silk Exchange.
We went on a walk around the Old Quarter without much of a plan in mind. We saw some street art browsed through a few shops, and randomly stumbled across the narrowest building in Europe - that’s the terracotta.
Since the tower was closed, we decided to stop by Horchateria Santa Catalina to try a drink that you either love or hate: horchata.
This cold milky-looking drink is made with chufas, better known as tiger nuts in English.
Our next attraction was Valencia Cathedral, which is home to a Holy Chalice that has been defended as the true Holy Grail.
If there’s one dish that we had to try in Valencia, it was paella. Many non-Spaniards view paella as Spain's national dish, but Spaniards will tell you this is a regional Valencian dish.
The City of Arts and Sciences, is a cultural and architectural complex that looks quite spacey and futuristic.
The complex itself is made up of various structures including a domed-glass garden that’s filled with palm trees, the planetarium, an interactive science museum, an aquarium, an opera house, and a plaza designed to hold concerts and sporting events and Turia Park.
But paella wasn’t all we had at the restaurant. We also ordered fideuá.
We had a food adventure in Valencia’s Central Market. Although this is primarily a place to buy your fresh fish, vegetables, meat, and fruit, you can also find some stands that sell smaller snacks and traditional Spanish dishes.
To wrap up our trip to Valencia, we’ll leave you with a few nighttime shots of the city washed aglow. We hope you enjoyed this Valencia travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do around the city.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine.
