Half Day Valencia Foodie Cycling Tour

Spend the day exploring Valencia — from the marina to the heart of l’Horta Nord farmland — by bike! The ride is mostly flat and easy, using proper bike lanes. We’ll take it slow, soaking in the atmosphere and tasting local flavors along the way. Feel the Mediterranean sea breeze, pass orange groves, colorful tiled buildings, lively beaches, seasonal gardens, and even horses on the roads. Experience the relaxed pace of small-town life. After riding along the promenade, we’ll stop for a traditional farm-to-table Valencia-style brunch — a culinary tradition rooted in the history of local cowboys. Before heading back to the fishermen’s quarter of El Cabanyal-Canyamelar, we’ll enjoy a refreshing glass of horchata, a beloved local drink. I can’t wait to share this beautiful part of Valencia with you and help you make the most of your time here!

It’s often accompanied by beer or wine with gaseosa, and finished with a cremaet, a coffee infused with rum, cinnamon, and lemon.
