Sunday lunchtime // paella

Sunday Paella lunch is traiditional for Valencia. Sea food paella is a nice option, my personal favourite is the black one (with squid ink). Here are two options with a more luxury or more fisherman atmosphere, both good though.

When I was here I was lucky enough to have a table facing the sea. But the Bali vibes and great apella were worth it anyway.

El Trompo

For a bit authentic seaside feeling, have your paella at La Pepica

La Pepica

It's my personal favorite, maybe because my first Sunday In Valencia my friends took me here. You can sit outside, have sea view and the black paella is amazing.
