Trendy Ruzafa Neighborhood Small-Group Tapas Walking Tour in Valencia
Meet your guide and the rest of your group at a central meeting point and get ready for a night of delicious tapas and Spanish wine on your walking tour. Your tour begins where the up-and-coming Ruzafa neighborhood meets the historic city center. On your evening tour, you will enjoy the best food in the city in a small group of just 10 people, accompanied by an expert, English-speaking guide.
From your meeting point, your guide will lead you on a stroll through the heart of this vibrant neighborhood to three of its best local tapas bars, pointing out interesting historical and cultural landmarks along the way.
At the first stop, you will visit a century-old wine store. Ruzafa inhabitants have been visiting this store for generations and it’s here that you will try a very typical Spanish aperitif paired with Spain’s famous acorn-fed ham and local cured sheep’s milk cheese.
Over the next two stops you will move on to salted cod fritters, patatas bravas and more. Your guide will pair the tapas with perfect local red and white wines as you learn more about the culture of wine in Spain and learn tips for ordering it like a local.
As the evening goes on, you will get to know three hidden tapas gems that your guide has handpicked. As you move from stop to stop, your guide will give you tips on how make the most of your tapas experience in Valencia and how to do tapas like the locals do.
Finally, it is dessert time. Hopefully you will have saved some room, because this Spanish version of French toast is not something you want to miss.
Your tour ends in the Ruzafa neighborhood, where you can easily head back into the city center or have your guide help you hail a taxi. You will leave with recommendations of more fantastic places to eat and drink in Valencia, as well as everything you need to know to order and enjoy yourself in the bars and restaurants of the city.
