The genteel 19th-century grid east of the old town — grand modernista buildings, smart shopping, the elegant Colón market, and the best restaurants. Refined, central and well-connected, a short walk to both the old town and the Turia park; a comfortable, grown-up base.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 4.Authentic paella — This is where paella was born, and Valencians are fierce about it — the true version is made with rabbit, chicken and beans (not seafood), cooked over wood and eaten at lunch, ideally out at the lakeside village of El Palmar in the rice paddies. Do it properly, at least once.
- 13.Mercado de Colón — A jaw-dropping modernista market hall in the elegant Eixample — a cathedral of iron, glass and colourful tilework, now home to chic cafés, an horchatería and gourmet stalls rather than greengrocers. Come for a coffee or a vermouth beneath the soaring roof; architecture worth a detour.
