A night out in the City of Valencia, Spain

As we parked near the Puente de Aragon (or Pont d’Aragó) we wondered where to explore this time?  We decided to make our way to an old covered market that is now full of bars and café’s, the Mercado de Colón. It has a bustling atmosphere and is a great meeting place.  After a well deserved wine and beer we headed across the Gran Via del Marqués de Tur¡a, towards the Canovas area.  Here we walked and took in the ambience finally deciding to eat at a great Spanish Tapas Bar, Rincon de Roberto in Calle Conde Altea.  It is well worth a visit.  We sat at tables on the pavement the street, the menu was well arranged with a wide selection and the service was excellent.  Our palm heart salad, steamed mussels and kidney dish to follow were, should we say exquisite!  Oh, and I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the wine menu!

We’ll definitely be going there again and hope that you do to.

  1. Sounds wonderful! How I love Spain, and its people, cuisine and wine! Tapas are amazing, and if I ever get to Valencia ... I'll give this place a try.

    Valencia looks like a city I must visit for sure.

    If it's anything like Barcelona, it's sure to be a blast! See my blog on Barcelona: http://diversionswithdoreen.wordpress.com/
