Our take
The best part of this route is that it takes you off the central terrace circuit and into bars where Valencians actually eat, with dishes like esgarraet or cocas you would rarely order on your own. With a 4.8/5 rating and groups of ten at most, it is an easy way to sort out your first dinner in the city.
