    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!
    🌶️ NEW: I’m huge excited to tell you that Smoked Ghost Pepper is Available Now: amzn.to/3PNTvNQ (available in USA first, coming soon to Canada, Europe, and Worldwide)
    Friends in the video:
    Paco Alonso - WikiPaella (wikipaella.org/en/) - Huge thank you Paco!

    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 (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 (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.

    Mark, as a spaniard, I'm extremely surprised by the quality of your tour. It's the first time that I saw a foreinger foodie that actually shows the amazing and rich cuisine that you can find in any corner of the country. You had an amazing guidance, you really went to some of the best "temples" in the country, like D'Berto, El Capricho or Etxebarri. You really shown the level of our product, amazing meats and fish, and one of the best seafood in the world. Also, a deep and old tradition that enrich every dish. So, I humbly thank you for that.

Although I like all these foods individually just would never chosen that. Now I’ll be dragging family around demanding we find somewhere that sells it 😂

      Unfortunately not if you are an unemployed person, as Spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe if not the highest in the EU. On top of that, salaries are not that high if compared to countries such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Belgium, GB, France, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Switzerland, etc. Although they are higher than in Poland, Czech Republic, Malta, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Baltic Republics, Greece, Portugal, Rumanía, etc.
      Productivity is low as in GB, hence salariés are lower that could be. Additionally, the rescue of private banks after the 2008's financial meltdown capped salary growth and consumption as huge amount of funds were allocated to the rescue of banks (i.e Popular, etc) and regional saving banks (i.e Bankia, etc).
      Having said that the country is amazing if you are a foodie, a tourist, a culture vulture or any other species roaming on earth. Spain should be in your bucket list.... Si o si.
      The quality of life index of Spain is 13 out of 36 in Europe in 2022, whereas countries as the UK ranks 17, Germany 6, Netherlands 3, lreland 20 and France 19. The full list is shown at www.numbeo.com, and other websites.

      How many countries did you actually visit to claim something this brave. Spain is literally one of the worst countries in Europe in terms of quality of life. Nordic countries, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden & Finland are at the top without any competition, followed by central European countries, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland. While I agree that Spain might have a rich history and some unique national dishes (like any other country in Europe), that's pretty much it. Wouldn't want live there God save...

    I am a South African and we Indians also make paella here, however excluding the rabbit and snails in the dish. I never knew that the pronunciation of the word is "pa eya" with the double L being silent instead of "pie ella."
    Oh well, you learn something new daily hey.
    I simply love the way Mark explains the tastes, smells, flavours and shows us how it's cooked and the locations also. The main thing I love as well is that we get to go for breakfast, lunch, supper and inbetween snacks anywhere and everywhere around the world whilst sitting comfortably in our own homes.

    if you are still in the valencia area, you must go to "asador el pastoret" a restaurant in náquera, a small village 25km north of valencia, where they make the famous valencian "esmorzaret" (copious amounts of food that you usually eat at weekends between breakfast and lunch)

    We had a Spanish guy make paella at the Amsterdam Plage (beach) years ago during a lovely summer. It was a special treat organized by Cantina Mobile who were running things there. He knew what he was doing and it was perfect. Plenty of high quality Spanish cuisine in Amsterdam. I remember in particular a Zarzuela which is odd because given the amount of wine we'd been drinking that evening I shouldn't be able to remember anything at all.

    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.

This was the first time watching cooks do their magic, and being mesmerized by it. I had a chance to live in Murcia. My friends and I stopped in Valencia on our way to and from Barcelona. You did a great job showing how to make paella from start to finish. Going to the market and looking at the ingredients was quite a visual treat. I really miss Horchata de Chufa! It was my favorite drink. I always ordered it with my food.
