La Posa, a family owed hotel/restaurant is as an amazing place for someone like myself that wants to relax in a quiet, beautiful place You can walk quietly in the olive groves in the campo, or drink with a friendly , passionate group of locals that will surprise you with both their depth, and warmth. Enjoy great music and art from a school with links to famous Spanish stars...check. Inexpensive local produce, wine, olive oil, and ham from local, "old school" producers...check. A jaw dropping cathedral, check. If you want loud and wild, Valencia is 50km away. Do yourself a favor: put a visit to La Posa on your "bucket list" The quality of life here is amazing

Paella! Our group of four was so excited to try paella here in Valencia because (1) none of us had…read moreeaten it before, and (2) what better place to try it than at in Valencia, its birthplace? I'm glad to have gotten it out of the way because I don't see myself eating it again for a very long time. It's not that the food was bad, but it's a lot. We shared the seafood paella and the traditional paella. I mostly had the seafood paella but I did try a few bites of the traditional one with rabbit and escargot. The seafood was fresh, and there was a healthy amount of prawns and squid. If you're not really into seafood or can't stand too much of the aroma or essence of seafood, do NOT get it because it is strong. After a while I got sick of the seafood flavor, which isn't a knock on the food, but a lesson that paella simply needs to be complemented with other foods. The traditional paella was quite good as well, and neither had rice that was too burnt (which I liked). I also didn't think the escargot and rabbit were particularly special. Again, portions were tremendous and I think we all left very, very full. Keep in mind that you need at least two people ordering paella in order to get it. It runs at about 18€ per person for any paella, which isn't on the low end, but you do get filled up since it's all rice.

This restaurant is nice and has a very professional atmosphere. They serve very good Valenciana…read morepallea. My family tried the Valenciana and the Seafood, my favorite being the seafood. They are served family style which I do particularly enjoy. It is a little expensive but the food is good and it is in a convenient location. There wine selection is also pretty good in my opinion, I do know they have some local options.
