Local restaurants
La Pepica (+34 963 710366) on the Valencia seafront is a former haunt of Hemingway and a roll call of Spain’s favourite bullfighters, and overlooks the sprawling beach of Las Arenas and is perfect for a lunchtime paella.On the edge of the old town, Bodega La Paz (+34 963 944162) is a good-looking restaurant and tapas bar with a fantastic selection of wines from the surrounding region, as well as some sublime jámon on offer. The Oceanogràfic’s aquarium restaurant, Submarino (+34 961 975565) provides an excellent dining experience, allowing you to enjoy flavour-packed, creatively made cuisine while surrounded by underwater life. Don’t let that put you off your prawns…
Local cafés
A few steps from the bustling Plaza de la Reina, Horchatería de Santa Catalina (+34 963 912379) is a wonderfully tiled landmark café and an ideal spot to sample the city’s signature tiger nut concoction or to gorge on a portion chocolate con churros.
Worth getting out of bed for
A minute's walk from the hotel, the 9km Jardines del Turia occupy what was once the Rió Turia’s riverbed (before it was diverted around Valencia), and make for blissful strolling ground.
