Tapas have been the ultimate staple of Spanish cuisine for centuries. Whether they are hot or cold, sweet or savoury, served by themselves or combined to make a full meal, tapas have more recently expanded to incorporate a wide dimension of palates, cultures and hold a great significance in restaurants,  ranging from sophisticated to casual dining. In Valencia, tapas take on a heavy importance in somehow representing and serving locals and tourists alike, simultaneously welcoming people from all around the world and teaching them the tapas way of life.

Here are just a couple of tapas bars and restaurants across the city that keep the tapas scene in Valencia refreshing and lively with eclectic and traditional and fun twists.

La FABrica

What makes La FABrica stand out from the rest is not only its antique, unique ambiance, but its delicious selection of late-night tapas and drinks as well. This hidden gem is perfect to check out if you are craving mini-burgers or potato wedges after a couple drinks! The music and friendly staff also contribute to the welcoming, vibrant atmosphere.
