Valencia markets and food
Four markets that sum up how Valencia eats: the Mercat Central downtown, the Art Nouveau Mercado de Colón, the Cabanyal fishing-quarter market and the Rice Museum, steps from the beach. You'll need public transport between downtown and the Cabanyal — the route includes those legs.
