About By the sea

Eating rice while looking at the Mediterranean is one of Valencia's great pleasures. The city has miles of urban beach and plenty of seafront restaurants.

Where to go

  • Malvarrosa and El Cabanyal: the best-known promenade, lined with rice restaurants.
  • Patacona and Port Saplaya: quieter and family-friendly, to the north.
  • Pinedo, El Saler and El Perellonet: to the south, between natural beaches and the Albufera.

Order seafood paella, arroz a banda or black rice, with tellinas or clóchinas to start. Book in summer.
