From sea to table: Valencian flavors you must try this season

Introduction
Visiting Valencia is not only a pleasure for the eyes, but also for the palate. During this time of year, the city is full of seasonal produce and dishes you won't find at other times of the year. From your MONLAR apartment, you have the opportunity to explore markets, restaurants, and bars where tradition and freshness are served in every dish.

Fresh seasonal produce in Valencia

• Clóchinas : small Valencian mussels, more tender and tasty than traditional ones.
• Figs and grapes : sweet late-summer fruits, perfect for desserts or snacks.
• Valencian tomatoes : juicy and full of flavor, ideal for fresh salads.

Dishes you can't miss

1. Rice a banda

A classic sailor's dish made with fish and seafood broth, typical in coastal areas like El Cabanyal.

2. All i pebre

Traditional eel, potato, and paprika stew served in the Albufera region. A must-try for exploring the local cuisine.

3. Esgarraet
