VALENCIA, SPAIN – Welcome to Valencia, in Southern Spain and home to Paella Valenciana, the original and authentic paella and probably one of the most famous of all Spanish food. Today we’re going on a paella tour in Valencia where we’ll first visit the market to see the local ingredients, and then eat two very different but authentic paella in Valencia. Let’s get started!

Mercado Central – To begin this amazing Spanish food day in Valencia we first walked around Mercado Central, the central market and one of the most beautiful markets in Europe. The market has everything you could ever want. Along with trying a few snacks like a Valencian farton, we checked out all the 10 most common ingredients that are a part of a Valencian paella.

Barraca Toni Montoliu (https://goo.gl/maps/bLTv4QmpGmqddVDBA) – Next up we headed out to Barraca Toni Montoliu, a man who is preserving the tradition of family paella on his farm just outside of the city. He grows most of his own ingredients and prepared a huge pan of paella using fresh ingredients. Seeing the process was a huge learning experience for me and it was fantastic. The paella at Barraca Toni Montoliu is traditional and family style.

Casa Carmela (https://goo.gl/maps/RKPXnLcMcoaLHoUaA) – Next we drove over to Casa Carmela, a paella restaurant in Valencia since 1922, one of the oldest and most legendary. Their paella kitchen is absolutely insane, so many pans of paella cooking at once, all blazing over orange wood fire. They have taken Spanish food to the next level with their Valencian paella and are well known for their Socarrat – crispy caramelized rice at the bottom of the paella. It was for sure the best paella I’ve ever had in my life, hands down. We also tried their Fideuà – seafood noodles from Valencia.
Price – €60 per paella pan

It was an amazing day learning about traditional Paella Valenciana and the pride and care that goes into it. Again it’s easily the most recognized Spanish food and after learning about it today, I can fully agree.

  1. Going there this weekend. My parents live in Valencia..moved from LA.. im in Madrid .. you need to go to Pyrenees

  2. In the Philippines Paella Valencia morphed through the decades into what is commonly found now in fiestas, birthdays, and family occasions: the Valenciana. The Valencia round rice has been replaced by sticky rice, saffron with curry or annatto seeds for golden color, and the paella pan into almost any cooking pan. I guess its in the availabity of ingredients. You'll only find Paellas in some restaurants.

  3. You need sugar for something to be considered caramelized. I know that this word is widely used in the industry, but it's wrong. I think that "toasted" or fried is better.

  4. Those butter beans are one of my favorite country cooking sides, especially growing up from the garden. Way better and different than green Lima's. We differentiate because Butter Beans we Grow are the purple speckled or heirloom "Jackson Wonder"… Same family, totally different flavors. Butter Beans cook up a deep brown tan color. We also eat the mature Lima's that are white but generally they're green and the flavor profiles are very apparent.

  5. Ma'am, your products escaping 😆. And they wonder why they have an invasive species issue or any of us for that matter.

  6. Look at that. You never ever touch the rice once it's in the water. Saw so much people trying to make paellas and moving the rice inside the water. Never!

  7. Anyways, the paella displayed in the video looks a little bit too humid for my taste. The depth of the rice it's too much. But generally a good example

  8. What a superb series you've done in Spain Mark. My grandfather was from Valencia and this show just made me very proud. Wish we could get those types of tomato here in the UK so we could stand a chance of making something similar!

  9. Hey Mark, as a local in VLC, i dont know if yrou were previously aware on how we are extremely Picky and easyly anoied about that particular part of our culture. But the respect you showed on this vid, drived me to know more about you. Now i can tell why you suck this shrimp heads whith the same pleasuse as we do, thay culture. mexican also as brazilian tour, showed me Who you are, so keep on doing this, most respect, and sorry for spellin

  10. I was watching an episode of Seinfeld 2 days ago and George mentioned that his mom was making Paella. Now thanks to you know what it is lol

  11. খুব দারুণ মজাদার একটি খাবারের আইটেম ছিলো আপনার ভিডিওগুলো অনেক ভালো লাগে

  12. Your right you have to know what to do and when to do it,to cook the meat the is delicious and fresh ,tastes the love flavor heart understanding on,who to do at right.

  13. 😢😢😭😭 am I the only one who spotted the meat fly out at 16:14

    Paella looks soooo good but it made me so sad to see a big ole piece of good meat fly out of the pan

  14. Mark, good job on eating up to the last rice grain. It's costumary and of high manners. Food is not to be thrown, rices are to be eaten without anything to waste!
