This blog post was originally posted on June 26, and was updated on February 5, As the third-largest city in Spain, Valencia attracts millions of tourists every year. One of the most well-known Spanish dishes abroad, paella hails from Valencia. Some paella purists even argue it should only be eaten in Valencia, not in the rest of Spain! Paella was originally cooked outdoors in giant pans over an open flame in the 18th century, made as a simple no-frills lunch for workers laboring in the fields.
It started to grow in popularity around the mids, and the rest is history. Other typical additions include artichokes, lobster and even snails! And of course, the best paella always has a layer of crispy rice along the bottom, known as socarrat. Tender, perfectly cooked noodles taste spectacular with seafood additions like monkfish, squid, shrimp and more. The Valencian town of Gandia is proud to be the birthplace of this tasty dish.
All i pebre is a stew containing chunks of eel and potatoes simmered to perfection in a sauce that includes garlic, paprika and almonds. In fact, this dish originated in nearby Alicante , where fishermen would use their unsold fish to make the stock used in cooking the rice.
This tasty tapa includes strips of bacalao salted codfish and roasted red peppers, both of which are cut into fine strips. Bunyols are yummy fritters containing a touch of pumpkin in the dough. Valencians usually snack on them during the famous Las Fallas festival in March, but we recommend enjoying them any time of year!
This delicious snack is one of our favorite typical foods from Valencia. We also use third-party cookies that help us analyze and understand how you use this website.
