On of my favorite places of Valencia, don't forget to visit their garden! 

Great spot for lunch or Almuerzos in the middle of the Alameda garden. It's a small kiosk with both indoor and outdoor seating. La Pergola has become a classic destination, serving sandwiches for over 30 years — the bombón is their star sandwich. I will never forget the joy on my boyfriend's face when his sandwich arrived with chips INSIDE the sandwich and then the look of delight when he took his first bite.

An independent shop in the historic centre of the Barrio del Carmen that feels like a cross between a curiosity shop and an art gallery. It's filled with old posters, photographs and trinkets from yesteryear as well as some contemporary graphic design pieces.

Ubik is half cafeteria and half bookstore. It’s a very cozy place, perfect for gathering around with friends, having an artisan beer or read one of the books from it’s shelves. Ubik is a multicultural point where gastronomy, literature, expositions and sometimes live music get thogether. It’s cheap and in it’s menu you’ll always find fresh products brought to you straight form the Ruzafa market.

The main attractive of this decor and gift store relays in the origins of it’s products, which are 100% Spanish crafted. In this rustic style store we can find iconic spanish brands items, some of them handcrafted. This store is a nice proposal for maintaining and impulsing the selling of classic spanish items, and favoring the local commerce. It’s also a very good option for those who want to make a good gift or get a beautiful souvenir from Valencia.
