FRIENDS
Doce
24 Calle Conde de Altea You’ll see why this bar calls itself a Gin and Tonic specialist. Bottles of juniper juice stretch as far as the eye can see.
Laydown Valencia

INSIDER TIP
Opt for a fideua the next time you settle down for lunch. Cooked in the same way as the classic Valencian staple of Paella, it comes with super-thin, inch-long noodles.
