From 5 to 15 November Valencia hosts València Cuina Oberta, one of the city's main food weeks. This year it is a record edition, writes Las Provincias.
What is on offer
- 81 restaurants with special menus: 11 are taking part for the first time and 8 hold a Michelin star.
- Prices have not changed: €28 at lunch and €36 in the evening, drinks not included.
- 32 food experiences: paella workshops, visits to the Valencian huerta market gardens and tastings of local produce.
The menus feature everything Valencia is famous for: rice dishes, Mediterranean recipes, creative tapas and modern cuisine. The organisers focus on local seasonal produce, the "pantry of the Mediterranean", as the city calls it.
How to combine it with a trip
The festival runs until 15 November, so there is still a weekend ahead. The easiest way is a day trip to Valencia: the city with a guide in the morning, lunch from the festival menu, and back to Torrevieja in the evening. And if you want to make paella at home, we have a recipe for real Spanish paella.
