Valencia’s Mediterranean Larder Initiative

Valencia has introduced its Mediterranean Larder initiative, underlining its reputation as a leading culinary destination. This campaign celebrates local culinary heritage by promoting high-quality, locally sourced products, with a strong focus on sustainability and zero-kilometre produce, aimed at fostering better connections between producers and consumers.

Central to Valencian cuisine are three main elements: the sea providing fresh fish and seafood, the fertile gardens offering high-quality vegetables, and the wetlands that support rice fields essential for iconic dishes like paella, particularly in the Albufera region, known for its distinctive rice production.

Upcoming Events

On May 16 and 17, 2025, the Deleste Festival will take place at Valencia’s Jardines de Viveros, featuring performances from notable bands such as The Vaccines, Teenage Fanclub, Death In Vegas, Anna of the North, and the British post-punk group Deadletter.
