If you're wondering where to eat in the Valencian Community, the short answer is that I have 49 places on the map, spread mostly across Valencia, Dénia and Alicante. The most common tags in my list are rice dishes and seafood, and nearly all of them are good for lunch or dinner.
The range goes from Japanese food, like Nozomi Sushi Bar, to bar-style spots such as Alma de Barra or Bar Mercat, plus a halal Arabic restaurant, Balansiya. It's a personal map and nothing on it is sponsored: if it's on the map, it's because I liked it.
Picked one by one by Rupo, Google Local Guide level 8. No sponsorships.
To see them all, open each city:
I have 49 places from the Valencian Community tagged for rice dishes, and a good number are in Valencia. For example, Arroceria Maribel is one I've noted down.
Dénia has 7 places on my list and Alicante has 6, all within the seafood and fish tags. Restaurante El Faralló is one I noted in the area.
I do, Rupo, a Google Local Guide at level 8 and not a professional critic. Nothing on the map is sponsored: if it's on the map, it's because I liked it.
